Week 1 Welcome & Introductions
Greetings, everyone. I am Frank Karnauskas and I am a volunteer executive for the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT). We have been building and flying satellites for educational and scientific purposed for over 55 years now.
I created a Youth Initiative to help get kids interested in aerospace and communications. I work with retired science teachers to create free online courses for our "Satellites in Space Help Us Live a Better Life on Earth" series. You can see our first four offerings at http://www.BuzzSat.com
Title page for a typical course offering.We are underusing the powers of Storyline 360 because we want to get ten courses online this year. We hope to use the AI functionality to improve the courses when we go through them again later for V2.0. We are all unpaid volunteers here, so if you are looking to do good and you have some spare time on your hands, we would like to hear from you!
Thanks for sharing this! I took a look, and I think this is a really insightful and intuitive resource for kids who are interested in learning about weather. As a instructional designer, with a focus on adult learning experience I really appreciate how the content is presented in a way that makes a complex topic like meteorology feel approachable and engaging for younger learners. The structure, clarity, and learner-focused approach do a great job of encouraging curiosity and helping kids understand what is happening around them.
I think this is a great tool for introducing children to weather science and could even inspire those who may want to explore a future career in meteorology or other STEM fields.
