Applicants for the summer 2025 sessions of the ARRL Teachers Institute on
Wireless Technology must apply by April 30 to be considered. The application
process is straightforward. Interested educators can find the web form at
www.arrl.org/ti[1]. ARRL covers all the costs of the TI, including travel, but
there is a $100 application fee if the teacher is accepted.

The Teachers Institutes are a productive week for those who attend. The program
is designed to not just introduce amateur radio to classrooms, but more
importantly to enable teachers to build content around wireless technology of
all kinds into their lessons.ÿ

Part of ARRL's mission is to inspire the next generation of radio amateurs, but
through this program the ripple effects spread into all things related to radio
engineering. ARRL Education and Learning Manager Steve Goodgame, K5ATA, said
teachers leave fired up about radio. "To see the excitement these educators
have after a TI is very rewarding. We see success when that enthusiasm ripples
out across communities, and we want to reach more teachers than ever before,"
said Goodgame.ÿ

ARRL has expanded the program for 2025, doing sessions around the country. The
first field session was held on Staten Island[2] in New York City. Other
regions are planned for 2025.ÿÿ

The Teachers Institute is funded entirely by donations to the ARRL Technology
and Education Fund. Over the winter, ham radio YouTubers and donors raised
$41,000 for the program in a telethon[4].

"We rely on the community to support this program, and donors have seen the
success and wanted to be a part of it. They have enabled the growth and
expansion of TI, and now we hope to get more applicants who want to come
participate in this amazing professional development opportunity," said
Goodgame.ÿ
