ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology Now Accepting Applications for 2025 Cohorts
Date: December 13, 2024
The ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology (TI) continues to grow. Fresh off a highly successful YouTube telethon that raised more than $41,000 for the program, some of next year’s dates have been announced. Applications are now open.
Program Expansion
The program is expanding, providing educators the opportunity to attend sessions around the country.
“We love having the teachers here at ARRL Headquarters, but we wanted to bring this program nationwide,”
— Steve Goodgame, K5ATA, ARRL Education and Learning Manager
Dates and details of the regional sessions are still being determined, but the goal is to reach many areas of the United States.
Application Process
The application process is straightforward. Interested educators can find the web form at www.arrl.org/ti. ARRL covers all the costs of the TI, including travel, but there is a $100 application fee if the teacher is accepted.
Program Success
The success generated from the program is demonstrable.
“The teachers leave TI with energy and knowledge. They’ve taken that and built tremendous programs in their schools,”
— Steve Goodgame, K5ATA
The program isn’t necessarily designed to get young people licensed, but rather to inspire them to think about radio in their other areas of study. Teachers integrate amateur radio and radio technology into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) lessons. Amateur radio is presented as a pathway to engage hands-on with concepts and apply them in the real world.
2025 Cohorts
There are 16 cohorts planned for the 2025 ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology.
“The growth we’re seeing in TI is a result of the teachers’ experiences with the program, and the donors who enable it,”
— Steve Goodgame, K5ATA
The TI is funded entirely by donations to the ARRL Education & Technology Fund.
