RSGB Seek Help Promoting Coding and Amateur Radio Week

/

National Coding Week has been run for many years in the third week of September. Coding is used increasingly in amateur radio, and the BBC Micro:bit and the Arduino have made it easier for radio amateurs of all ages to discover more about this.

As part of its commitment to encourage youngsters into amateur radio and to support lifelong learning, the RSGB will be providing resources and creating coding activities for people to get involved in throughout the month of September.

The Society is keen to hear from volunteers who have ideas for this initiative and would like to be part of it.
