Grant: Youth Hobby for the 21st Century

Date: August 2025
Amount: $18,075

The STEM Amateur Radio Club (STEM ARC) introduces students to amateur radio through hands-on STEM activities. The program builds skills in science, math, and communication while opening pathways to technical careers.

This project will expand outreach in schools and scouting, run youth training and emergency workshops, and support licensing. The grant will provide materials, radios, and opportunities for young operators, with a focus on bringing more youth and underrepresented groups into the hobby.
