British Science Week events

British Science Week began on Friday 7 March and will continue until Sunday 16 March.

The annual celebration presents radio amateurs with the opportunity to showcase the hobby to new audiences. Crowthorne and Wokingham Men’s Shed will be operating as G8EYM during the forthcoming week. Organisers who would like to set up skeds with other groups, particularly other Men’s Sheds groups, should get in touch via info@nmishedww.co.uk

Some events are also open to the public. South Derbyshire and Ashby Woulds Amateur Radio Group will be hosting a family friendly open weekend 15-16 March. The event will include opportunities for kit building, details of training, as well as an opportunity to operate under supervision.

Norfolk Amateur Radio Club is intending to support the City of Norwich School with its Super Science Saturday on 15 March.

To get involved with these events view the “Events happening near you” section on the RSGB British Science Week web pages.

The Society has also shared a number of fun ideas that you can take part in, from giving your friends and family a tour of your shack, through to observing the Sun’s cycles and understanding the aurora.

And of course, don’t forget to get involved with the official RSGB British Science Week activity, which is featured in the British Science Week Community Activity Pack. This can be done at home on DMR or any other radio.

Whatever inspires you, be part of this fantastic celebration of Science, Technology, Maths and Engineering and show the very best that amateur radio has to offer.
