“Big Project” schools get Best Buy Te@ch grants

February 10, 2005 -- Two ARRL Amateur Radio Education and Technology Program (ETP) participating schools were the Liberal Arts and Science Academy of Austin at Lyndon Baines Johnson High School (LBJ) in Austin, Texas, and Orono Middle School in Orono, Maine. Lead teachers Ronny Risinger, KC5EES, at LBJ, and Richard Glueck, N1MDZ, at Orono say they'll use the grant funds to purchase laptop computers suitable for field work and other applications. ARRL ETP Coordinator Mark Spencer, WA8SME, says he hopes more Big Project schools will consider taking advantage of the Te@ch awards and other grant programs. The list of all schools receiving Te@ch grants is available on the Best Buy Web site. The ETP reaches more than 3600 students, exposing them to a collective total of some 184,000 hours of involvement in "wireless technology literacy." The League invites contributions to the ARRL Education and Technology Program via its secure donation Web site.
