Nearly 200 year 7 pupils from Wisewood Comprehensive School had the opportunity to listen to and speak via radio with students at the Indian Creek Elementary School in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, USA recently, as part of National Science Week.
The all day amateur radio demonstration, involving all of Wisewood’s year 7 pupils, elicited great interest from pupils and staff alike.
Derek Green Head of Science at Wisewood School, praised the event,
"The children had a very enjoyable visit from the Sheffield Amateur Radio
Club and were thrilled to speak with another school, in the USA, using
radio."
Sheffield Amateur Radio Club were pleased to support National Science Week by working with Wisewood School. We have been asked to return next year which I am sure we will do. Other interested Sheffield schools may have to join a queue!
