  2. Marconi Challenge Guglielmo Marconi pioneered wireless telegraphy at a wavelength of about 1500 meters and succeeded in sending an RF signal with kilowatts of power across the Atlantic Ocean in 1901 The Marconi Challenge for students is to send an IR signal at a wavelength of about 950 nanometers with milliwatts of power to a detector over the largest distance The Marconi Challenge offers unique opportunities for experimentation and learning for high school students. IR digital data communication is used to provide an educational experience in electronics, the use of semaphores to represent information, and the optical transmission and reception of IR light.

  3. Infrared Semiconductor Emitter and Detector In the Marconi Challenge the transmission of a signal by infrared (IR) light using a semiconductor diode emitter and phototransistor detector is introduced. IR detector phototransistor receiver circuit IR emitter diode transmitter circuit These circuits can be easily constructed by twisting the component wires together on an insulating circuit board even without a permanent connection by soldering. The simplicity and excitement of the Marconi Challenge could be the 21st Century equivalent of the crystal radio which provided the impetuous for many high school students to turn-on to engineering and science.

  4. Robotics

  5. Goals and Applications • Build a fully functional robot • Learn about design, tools, engineering, team building and mechanical concepts • Take away new skills useful in both engineering and life
