JOTA 2026

🇳🇱 · Dordtse Elektronica Club · Arie

PI4DEC/J nam op 16 en 17 oktober deel aan de JOTA 2026, de wereldwijde Jamboree On The Air. Dit in samenwerking met de omliggende scoutinggroepen op Jeugddorp in Dordrecht. Dit jaar werkten we met 3 zenders tegelijk. Er zijn daardoor veel verbindingen gemaakt met andere scouting clubs, zowel dichtbij als ver weg. Voor één van de zenders hebben we een tijdelijke mast met antenne op het terrein van Christiaan de Wet groep neergezet Deze antenne was er alleen voor het JOTA weekend. Verder werden de DEC antennes gebruikt. Meer dan 100 kinderen deden dit het weekend mee met het zenden, een radio vossenjacht en het solderen van een bouwproject, de zgn. Space Cruiser. Het bericht JOTA 2026 verscheen eerst op PI4DEC - Dordtse Elektronica Club - PI4D .

How Kids Use Coding to Make Their Own Apps

🇨🇦 · Maker Kids · Samantha Dinelle

October 22, 2026 Kids make their own apps with block-based coding tools like MIT App Inventor, which lets them design screens, drag in buttons, snap together logic, and test the app on a real phone or tablet. Most kids aged 10 and up can build a simple working app, like a quiz or a reminder, in an afternoon. The best kid-made apps start with a real problem, and some have gone on to help whole communities. Key takeaways Kids can build real, working apps with free, block-based tools, no typing required. The best apps start with a problem, not a feature list. Coding foundations from Scratch and Python make app-building faster and more fun. Can kids really build their own apps? Yes, and millions already have. MIT App Inventor reports more than 24 million learners in 195 countries who have created over 100 million apps ( MIT App Inventor ). The tool uses colourful code blocks, similar to Scratch, so kids can focus on their idea instead of getting tripped up by typos and syntax. What have kids built with code? Some of the most inspiring apps come from kids who noticed a problem close

Meteorites: Nature’s Free Sample Return

🇺🇸 · Huntsville Alabama L5 Society (HAL5) - Project HALO · National Space Society

What Meteorites Teach Us About the Solar System—and Humanity’s Future in Space By Dr. John Christy Johnson, Dr. Peter Anto Johnson, Dr. Austin Mardon, and Burt Dicht (see About the Authors at end of article) Image: A lunar meteorite from Antarctica, Allan Hills A81005. Image Credit: NASA/JSC S82-35869. Long before spacecraft visited the Moon, landed on asteroids, or returned samples from distant worlds, scientists were already studying material from beyond Earth. These extraterrestrial rocks, meteorites have often been described as the “poor man’s space probe” because they provide direct physical evidence from space without the expense and technological complexity of launching a spacecraft. Missions such as Apollo, Hayabusa2, and OSIRIS-REx have transformed our understanding of the Solar System. Yet meteorites remain among the most valuable scientific resources available for studying its origin, evolution, and composition. They preserve evidence from the earliest stages of planetary formation, record geological processes that occurred billions of years ago, and provide informati
