In a world shaped by innovation and technological advancement, the realm of ham radio stands as a testament to the enduring relevance of engineering and STEM-related disciplines. Through my experiences at Milford High School's CTE/STEM program, I have witnessed the transformative power of ham radio in igniting a passion for exploration, learning, and hands-on application of scientific principles. At its core, ham radio embodies a captivating fusion of engineering, electronics, and communication, offering a gateway to many STEM-related disciplines.

On Thursday evening, February 2, the Granite State ARA participated in an inaugural event at Milford High School called Milford Applied Technology CTE. Samantha Belcourt-Director, Jennifer DiMaria-Career Development Specialist, and Frank Xydias-engineering and STEM educator hosted the event. U.S. Congress representative Ann Kuster participated in the opening remarks.
