Teach Emergency Communications That Actually Matters

Your students learn coding, robotics, and electronics—but do they understand resilient communications when infrastructure fails? Partner with EmergencyHam.net to give students hands-on experience building disaster-ready sensor networks.

Why Partner With Us?

✓ Real-World STEM – Students design IoT sensors with actual emergency communication purpose

✓ Cross-Disciplinary Learning – Combines RF engineering, software development, public service

✓ Pathway to Ham Radio – Introduces students to amateur radio and FCC licensing

✓ Community Impact – Student projects contribute to local emergency preparedness

✓ Grant-Friendly – Aligns with NSF, DHS, and FEMA educational funding priorities

We’re seeking 10-15 educational partnerships to launch student innovation challenges.

Your Students Will:

– Design and deploy Part 15 IoT sensors (air quality, weather, river levels, wildfire detection)

– Learn RF fundamentals and radio networking protocols

– Work alongside licensed ham operators as mentors

– Present findings at amateur radio conferences and maker fairs

– Earn FCC Technician licenses (optional pathway)

Curriculum modules, equipment recommendations, and mentor matching provided.

Perfect for high school STEM programs, university engineering clubs, makerspaces, and 4-H/scouting groupsn or higher), willingness to operate relay equipment, commitment to emergency communications service
