CARC supports Mini Maker Faire 2014
Members of the Columbia Amateur Radio Club volunteered at this year’s Mini Maker Faire, held at EdVenture on Saturday, June 14.
This marked the second year the club has participated in the event, which celebrates creativity, innovation, learning, and crafting during a one-day, family-friendly festival. Visitors to the club’s display had the opportunity to make Morse code bracelets, design their own QSL card, practice Morse code with real keys and oscillators, check out some home-brew gear, such as antennas and radios, and learn more in general about the hobby of amateur radio.
The event was coordinated by Tammy, N4TAL.
