Ham Radio Classes – Online and In-Person

Amateur radio (or “ham radio”) is used by people all over the world to communicate over radio waves. Some people become licensed ham radio operators for emergency preparedness in the event that cell towers are not available or to provide communications support for community events such as charity walks, bike races, and running events, including the Boston Marathon. Others use amateur radio to report severe weather events as part of a nationwide volunteer weather spotting service. Many people use amateur radio as a social activity to talk with people in their local area, in other states, or around the world. You can even occasionally contact crew members on the International Space Station!

Ham radio is also the ultimate STEM activity for kids. As children learn about how to operate an amateur radio, they will build upon their knowledge in science, technology, engineering, math, as well as electronics, physics, and space science. It is a great hands-on activity that introduces kids to technical concepts and inspires them to learn more. For more information, check out the Amateur Radio FAQ for Parents
