[arrl-odv:35189] Fwd: very cool! from the Congressional Record of 9/12/2023

Ham Radio on the House Floor. Mark, HDX - This is from the US *Congressional Record*. 73, Rosalie K1STO CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4237 September 12, 2023 BOWMAN MIDDLE SCHOOL Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I re- cently had the pleasure of visiting Bowman Middle School in Mitchell County to view the school’s Inter- national Space Station, ISS, contact project. Thanks to the diligent work of Dan Hopson, a STEM teacher at the school who has a penchant for securing these kinds of opportunities, this project was able to come to fruition. Students were able to ask a variety of questions in real time via ham radio to Warren Hoburg, a NASA astronaut who suc- cessfully traveled to the ISS on March 3 of this year. This impressive event was one that these students will surely remember as they continue their educational jour- neys. Hopefully, some will be inspired to engage in careers in STEM areas. Congratulations to Dan Hopson, Principal extraordinaire Amber Young, and the dedicated staff at Bowman Middle School who made this event and this learning opportunity such a suc- cess.
