British Science Week – will you be taking part in an amateur radio activity?

British Science Week starts this Friday, 7 March, and gives radio amateurs the opportunity to share their passion and knowledge of the hobby to reach new audiences.

Schools including Kingsmead School in Taunton and St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, Ormskirk have radio-related activities planned for students. Clubs including South Derbyshire and Ashby Woulds Amateur Radio Group will be involved with events that are open to the public.

A Men’s Sheds group in Crowthorne and Wokingham will be active as G8EYM and would appreciate skeds, especially with other Men’s Sheds – could you arrange one with them?

In another fantastic development for this year, the RSGB Outreach team has partnered with the Radio Communications Foundation to provide FM radio receiver kits for 15 school, university, scout and youth groups to build.

You can find details of these events, plus more, by going to our British Science Week web pages and choosing the “Events happening near you” tab on the righthand menu.

If you have an activity taking place, there is still time to let the Society know so it can help promote the event. Email the RSGB British Science Week Coordinator, Ian Neal, M0KEO via bsw@rsgb.org.uk 

Even if you haven’t planned anything yet, you can still get involved by doing the RSGB’s official British Science Week activity with your friends and family. You can find that and other ideas and resources on the RSGB British Science Week web page. Be inspired, get involved and show the very best that amateur radio has to offer.
