*ARRL Teachers Institute Now Accepting Applications for 2011 Sessions*

The ARRL Education Services Department has announced the 2011 schedule 
for the Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology 
<http://www.arrl.org/teachers-institute-on-wireless-technology> 
workshop. Offered through the ARRL's Education & Technology Program 
(ETP), the Teachers Institute is a four-day, expenses paid in-residence 
learning opportunity designed for motivated teachers and other school 
staff who want to learn more about wireless technology and bring that 
knowledge to their students. A variety of topics are covered during the 
TI, including basic wireless technology literacy, electronics, the 
science of radio, radio astronomy, how to bring space into the 
classroom, ham radio operation, introduction to micro controllers and 
basic robotics. While participants do not need to have an Amateur Radio 
license to attend the basic TI sessions, one is required for the TI-2 
session.

"We'll be offering four sessions of the introductory Teachers Institute 
workshop this summer and one session of the TI-2 on Space in the 
Classroom, focusing on satellite communications," said ARRL Education 
Service Manager Debra Johnson, K1DMJ. "The workshops are offered to 
teachers in America's classrooms, with all expenses paid by donors who 
have contributed financial support to ARRL's Education & Technology 
Program Fund. The Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA) will once 
again host and sponsor the TI-2 session on Space in the Classroom. 
Generous support by Yaesu, Ham Radio Outlet and Parallax make our 
donors' contributions go even further."

There are four ARRL Teachers Institute sessions scheduled for 2011: June 
13-16 in Albuquerque, New Mexico; June 20-23 at Parallax Inc in Rocklin, 
California; July 11-14 at the Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, 
New York, and July 18-21 at ARRL Headquarters in Newington, Connecticut. 
The deadline to apply for the New Mexico and California sessions is 
April 15. The deadline for the New York and Connecticut sessions is May 
15. The TI-2 will be in Dayton, Ohio on July 11-14; the application 
deadline is May 15.
