[amsat-bb] : ARISS contact with Schools

[Robert Bankston]

Don,
The best place to start is by visiting https://www.ariss.org/
They have all the basic information there about their school contact program, to include contact information for more information.  If he does not find what he needs, please feel free to share my contact information.  I would be happy to help him get in touch with the right people.
The ARISS Contact program is a great opportunity for students.  Wish I had that opportunity growing up.
73,

Hello hope Everyone is doing well  Heatwave N/W Indiana almost 50 tomorrow
and our first little local Ham fest of the yr  

I have a  Amateur Radio Op friend who is also a School teacher  1 through 8
,  He has  got authorization to  get some  who are interested  in Amateur
radio  He has applied for a FCC School Club call  I think this is a great
idea  to  teach the  Young generation  to put down their cell phones and
tablets and learn  this form of Communications too  . At 73 I have 23 Grand
and 24 Great Grandkids only  one is interested  in ham radio  a 12 yr old
girl I have had  a 8 Yrs. old  show me how to fix and use my fancy Motorola
Smart phone  LOL

So the question is can someone please  send Me a link that I can share with
him on setting up a contact  with the international  Space Station  Myself
and a few others  will be donating some equipment  to him he is a new ham
but wants to teach and share .. He was also on Communications  in the
Military 

Thanks  73  Don KA9QJG

Ps    The  greatest thing I  have hear from Him or anyone else it is now ok
to be a Geek  I got laughed at  for My pocket protector LOL
