Thank you to Craig Giles for writing in and sharing with us news about a club for teens that he's organizing called "Waveband Hack Club YSWS" for RTL-SDR dongles. Craig writes in his email:
Hack Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that aims to teach teenagers how to code by building projects. Hack Club runs a variety of programs called YSWSs, or “You Ship, We Ships”, which are programs in which a teen works on a themed project and gets rewarded with a prize following the theme.
Waveband is a YSWS about RTL-SDR dongles, where teens make a computer program that uses an RTL-SDR dongle, and they get a V4 dongle and antenna kit in return. We are aiming to get more teens involved in SDR and give them the hardware to do so through this program.
The club has a clever interactive website that interested teens can go to to learn more. Currently, it appears that the club is running the program for a limited time from June 11 to July 11. During this time, teens can log on to the website and get a free RTL-SDR dongle if they submit a program they've written that uses an RTL-SDR in a unique way.
Further information is available on their GitHub page.
