Our Activities!
EARS has a number of events and courses we run throughout the academic year, the details of which can be found on this page. We have something for everyone, whatever your level of experience with electronics. So, take a look and, if you have any questions, get in touch!
Events
ScraphEEp Challenge
An annual event, where we challenge you to build a robot or some other electronic contraption in the space of a single day. Compete with others and complete the task!
Radio Courses
At least once a year we run amateur radio courses free of charge to help students at the university gain a life skill and interested in the hobby
Social Events
We occasionally do some evenings out where members can get to know each other and have a chance to do activities with eachother and discuss the projects they have been working on
Trips
We run a few trips per year, usually themed to what we may be doing at the moment in EARS.
Examples of trips include Bletchley Park and most notably Snowdon where eight of us climbed to the peak and setup a HF radio station
AGM
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a yearly meeting each society holds to review the year’s activities and elect a committee for the next academic year
Being on the EARS committee is a great experience, so do come along to the AGM and run for a position. It’s really important that we get as many members as possible to attend the AGM, so the society can get even better for the next year
It’s usually held near the end of the academic year. We’ll publish the exact date and location nearer the time
The AGM is open to all members and there are usually some refreshments available for everyone
