Added: 28 Sep 2023 Contributor: Oide Resource type: Guide/notes

Learn about the crucial role of radio communication in the context of satellite technology and the launch of EIRSAT-1. This document supports a set of presentations and hands-on activities designed to make the world of radio waves accessible to learners of all backgrounds.

By first exploring the world of satellite communication and radio, students will engage in a hands-on fun activity where they construct their own model of a ground station and satellite using micro: bits.

Resources include
"Fundamentals of Radio Communication"
"Radio Waves"
"Let's Communicate!" (hands-on activity using micro:bits)
