Mather [2], O. L. Shepherd [2], M. C. Storey [1]. [1] Australia Telescope National Facility, CSIRO [2] School of Physics, University of Sydney [3] Faculty of Engineering, University of Technology Sydney A pilot project to raise awareness and gain practical experience in radio astronomy, radio-science and the importance of the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum is being run in several Australian high schools. Students from city and country high schools are using computer controlled RF scanners connected to wideband discone antennas to measure RF signal levels up to 1.5 GHz in their local area and are comparing their results via the internet. Through this the students gain an increased understanding of the value and use of the radio frequency spectrum for communication and astronomy, practical experience in radio-science and an appreciation of the requirements of a "radio-quiet" site for the next generation radio telescopes, the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), that Australia is bidding to host. The effectiveness of the project is being evaluated through a number of means including standardised tests of participating student's understanding vs a control group, feedback from teachers and from trained science communicators.
