AB - Exploring the Electromagnetic Spectrum is a two-semester-long program hosted by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) designed to promote diversity in amateur radio. Through this program, two cohorts of young adults, totaling thirty people, are working towards the goal of receiving their technician's and/or general class license. For the second cohort of students, three students also became peer mentors. To complete the program, students complete lessons on an online platform, attend weekly Zoom classes, and listen to presentations given by guest speakers. The students are also building lasting relationships with their peers and mentors. The ultimate goal of the program is to develop a curriculum for amateur radio clubs, schools, and other interested individuals. In this presentation, three of the students will share their personal experiences with the program.
