For the first time in over 50 years, humans are Moonbound.
At 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 UTC) NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft lifted off from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on a planned test flight around the Moon and back. go.nasa.gov/4tlRfRS

If you've ever wanted to investigate the radio spectrum as part of your #STEM lessons - have a look at..

The equipment is pretty cheap, and you can learn the dark art of antenna building!...

Are any of my schools, or any hi-impact schools interested in this? - With the ISS (apparently) being taken out of service in 2030, we're running out of opportunities!

@ARISS_Intl is inviting educational groups in Europe to apply for an amateur radio contact with an astronaut on the International Space Station - deadline for applications is 27 March

Keeping safeguarding records consistent and up to date can be challenging when information sits in different systems. StudentKeeper’s two-way integration with CPOMS removes that barrier.
Notes and captures can be submitted directly into CPOMS, with updates flowing back into StudentKeeper so nothing is missed. Autofill speeds up reporting, timestamps add clarity, and independent capture logs provide full audit visibility.
It gives safeguarding teams a smoother, more reliable workflow — reducing duplication and supporting quicker, more informed responses for pupils.

Apple engineers its laptops to have some flex so that they withstand drops.
Not many companies can match the level of hardware testing Apple does.

Safeguarding is increasingly complex, especially when digital activity is spread across multiple devices and systems. Ativion StudentKeeper brings this together into one clear, consistent view.
With full visibility across all devices - including iPads - DSLs can quickly identify patterns, emerging risks and changes in behaviour. The platform’s dashboards, real-time alerts and trust-level reporting make it easier to intervene early and make informed decisions.
Seamless two-way integration with CPOMS also ensures that every note and capture is recorded accurately, without duplicated work or gaps in a child’s chronology.
This creates a more connected, reliable and proactive approach to digital safeguarding for schools and Trusts.

A massive well done to our own M7IFL who managed to have a direct QSO with #LA9RY on the 2 metre band using only 5 watts and a quarter wave magmount yesterday. I think @skipperAitken was more excited than Jacob 😂 #HamRadio
