The Roanoke Valley Governor’s School Software Defined Radio Server is now live! This is a new, publicly accessible platform, made possible through RVGS’s Hoffman Fellowship Program, that lets you tune into nearly any radio signal in the Roanoke area. Receive and decode signals from weather balloons, satellites, aircraft, wireless sensors, and much more, all from your browser. Check it out at https://sdr.jalbert.app!

Our students competing at ISEF got to explore a bit yesterday. They travelled to Papago Park and hiked the Hole-in-the-Rock trail. They also went to the zoo.

Good luck Lab Rats!
