Course description:

The workshop will cover the very basics of what radios waves are, how they are used in different protocols, and where they are used in modern technology. There will be some live demos to make the topic more fun and accessible, including possibly using wireshark (a network monitoring software to look at WiFi), a loop antenna to pick up far away AM radio broadcasts, and paper cup radios (because they are fun).

The format would start with input and slides/ handouts to cover the physics and tech, then would be more interactive. This would be easiest mostly done inside, but the loop antenna would need to be out doors, on either dirt or pavement to act as a reflector.
