GNU Radio Educators
The mission of the GNU Radio Educators Group is to promote and support the use of GNU Radio in education, in the widest possible sense of the term - from Middle School through High School and Undergraduate to Graduate education, and for the general public. This includes both learning about GNU Radio (and DSP) as an end in itself, as well as using GNU Radio to facilitate wider exploration of, and interest in, science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Potential GNU Radio Educational Projects
No Hardware Necessary
- Experiment with noise, chirps and Morse Code.
- Make some phone tones.
Some Hardware Required
- Check out Ten Things You Can Do with Software-Defined Radio.
- Detect FM radio with a simple antenna, RTL-DSR dongle, and a laptop.
- Build a neutral hydrogen (HI) horn antenna, make a map of the Milky Way, and discover Dark Matter.
- Build a Magnetic loop Antenna, use it to monitor the strength of ELF submarine communication signals, to detect Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances.
More Specifically Educationally Oriented
- Check out the WVU Digital Signal Processing in Radio Astronomy DSPIRA Labs.
GNU Radio Educators at GRCON 2018
We are planning a breakout session at GNU Radio Conference 2018. Please share your ideas here.
GNU Radio Slack Discussions
Go to the GNU Radio Slack Invite Page to join the project on Slack. Then subscribe to the #edu channel. Here are some snippets from some recent Slack Discussions.
