That was over 2 years ago, but I am sure I can find something. It might
take a while.
So far we are looking at:
A short talk
On The Air QSOs
RECEIVE WEATHER SAT IN ABSENCE of OSCAR
A treasure hunt using clues dealing with space history and technology. That
might add up to 2 - 2.5 hours of activities and learning.
Now new question????
Ideas for CLUES and finds?????????

Members of our group certified as Boy Scout Merit Badge councilors several
years ago but never got called. We are no longer certified. We did
produce
a DVD showing scouts in amateur radio. We provided 45 DVDs one for each
troop.

Not quite related to what you are doing. 5 of us will conduct a 4 hour
class for scouts wishing to achieve the Radio merit badge. 6 times! Yes,
twic a day, two groups, three weeks. We don't know yet how many in each
class!
I am taking the first hour of each and preparing a power point
presentation.

Rich,
Good question with a bazillion answers. It all depends on what the
venue
will be. Small groups, large groups, are they looking for introductory
material or something in depth, will the timing be during a pass, what
do
you want to accomplish.lots of things impact what will be presented.
I'd suggest you look into presenting something that matches a
requirement
to
satisfy an award the scouts can walk away with. Perhaps a requirement
for
a
Bear Arrow Point Award. I saw major categories for:
Space
Weather
Radio
Electricity
Maps
Each category has some requirements that could be addressed during your
presentation. In my mind, setting up to take a NOAA satellite pass
might
fit into a number of these categories (of course it all depends on when
the
scouts will be in the area). This would give you connections to all the
categories listed above. You might have the scouts make a model of a
CubeSat and then witness a FunCube pass so they can see the data
(graphs)
that are the outcome of the telemetry (interpreting the graphs would be
pretty heady stuff of a scout camp venue).
In any event, you're going to have your hands full between the venue,
age,
time limitation and the bell schedule of the event. If all the stars
align
and there is an appropriate pass, all it will take is for the previous
presentation to run over, and all your careful planning is out the
window.
So a backup plan is in order. BE PREPARED I guess is the word of the
day.
Hope you have a busy time.
Mark
The K4AMG Club has been approached by a CUB SCOUT summer camp
coordinator.
The camp will be held in Norfolk, VA at an Elk's Lodge on Friday June
27th.
Age range of kids are 6 -10 years old.
Looking for suggestions of what to do. They are willing to give us 1 -
2
Hours.
Example: Toss the satellite where kids stand in a circle and spin a 4"
square box around to show orbit and spin.
So now it is time for your ideas.
Would like to have your responses in the next 5 days ... what should
these
kids now ... what can they learn!
