[NJARC] Kids stuff?

[Joe blanks]

Hi everybody,

 At the last meeting there was a gentleman (I wish I could remember his =
name) who was asking for ideas about a "hands on exhibit" for kids to be =
used at the radio clinic.=20
And today it hit me.
here's the idea: (you can just shoot me if I'm crazy, I'll understand)

We set up a "mini radio station"
The kids could play records or tapes and/or any programming (mp3) that =
would demonstrate the progression of technology through the years.
This programming could then be "broadcast" by low power AM transmitters =
to be received by the radios that are being fixed at the clinic.
The kids could even do a mock news broadcast: NEWS FLASH..... Mr. Smiths =
1937 Philco was just repaired at the clinic..............or something =
like that.

The idea would be to show them all aspects of radio.

The journalistic/ on air personality side of it.(what child "star" is on =
the air)

The programming side of it.( the kids deciding what they want to play =
"on the air")

The engineering side of it.(showing them what this radio stuff is and =
how it works)

The repair side of it. (by monitoring what goes on in the clinic and how =
it was fixed  for the news flashes)

And they'll get a history lesson that won't hurt.(remember all the =
different types of formats for the broadcast programming)

well you get the idea.

what do you think?
