Build Your Own Radio! How Radio Engineering Shaped our Modern World FULL
Tuesday January 7, 2025 12:35pm - 1:50pm PST
TBA
Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, 5G, Radar, MRI... what do they all have in common? Radio engineering!

In this 75-minute class, you'll learn how vintage radio techniques from 1906 laid the groundwork for modern chip design. Explore the science behind classic radio communication, unraveling concepts like radio encoding, Fourier transforms, and modulation techniques. Discover how people use meteor tails to send messages over radio, and try your hand at building your own AM receiver!

What's covered: maths behind radio signals, physics E&M, soldering skills, basics of analog circuit design

Ideally, students will have prior had experience soldering.
