The AMSAT Youth Initiative is pleased to introduce the first in its series
of “Satellites in Space Help Us Live a Better Life on Earth” online courses!
An “Introduction to Satellite Meteorology” explores the many ways that NOAA
satellites help meteorologists predict the immediate weather and long-term
climate behavior to make our lives more enjoyable and safer. It is designed
for students Grades 8-12.
Each chapter has 40-50 pages and is expected to take perhaps 30 minutes per
chapter. If you leave the course, it will remember where you left off so
you wont have to start from scratch.
The course is designed to be “self-standing” so any student, parent, youth
leader or teacher can independently utilize the course. The courses are
free. You can try this course at:
https://buzzsat.com/
Please note that this edition of the course is a beta release. Numerous
improvements to the navigation features, clarity of graphics and technical
content are scheduled for the next release in June 2025. But wed love to
hear from you! Please send your comments and suggestions to Frank
Karnauskas, AMSAT VP-Development at f.karnauskas [at] amsat [dot] org.
Future course to be added later this year include how satellites play a
critical role in managing:
- Climate Change
- Pollution Control
- Wildlife and Natural Resources
- Navigation
- Satellite Design and Operation
- Space Exploration
- Communications
- Broadcasting
- Military Operations
- And much, much more!
Subject matter experts in any of these areas or educators in the sciences
are invited to talk with the BuzzSat team about future course development.
[ANS thanks AMSAT for the above information.]
