On the weekend or 2/15-2/16/25 i was able to attend a teachers workshop sponsored by the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station held at the KSC Visitor’s Center. It was a great hands on training to teach the nature of electromagnetic waves to kids of all ages.

The teachers were very informative. We were shown techniques for demonstrating the nature of waves. It was exciting to use an antenna to track the ISS and download an image transmitted from it. The picture had a lot of noise, but it showed how to record data and then decode it.

I am really fortunate that the school I teach at gave me this opportunity. I can’t wait to show the students what I learned.

I had a wonderful time this weekend going to the Gardenfest. I went with plant loving friends. I brought my little red wagon so I could pick up plants. I was looking for a hibiscus and some milkweed.

There were so many beautiful plants. There were orchids that smelled like chocolate and pitcher plants. I did buy a pitcher plant but no orchids. I have plenty of orchids. I got a Gerber daisy too. We went out to lunch after the show. It was wonderful.
