Empowering Youth and Building Strong Identities in Baltimore
BALTIMORE - ncarol.com -- A group of curious youth from the Islamic Leadership Institute of America (ILIA), had the unique privilege of being the first youth group to explore the new location of National Electronics Museum in Hunt Valley, Maryland in November.
A Journey Through Time
The youth embarked on an unforgettable journey through the origins and evolution of key technologies. They were captivated by the displays of vintage telephones, towering supercomputers, intricate radar systems, and the progression of electrical devices and components. The exhibits vividly illustrated how these technologies have evolved over decades, shaping the world we live in today.
The most exciting stops was the ham radio station, where the youth were thrilled to connect with an amateur radio operator in Ohio, experiencing the role radio communications play in an era of digital social media.
This immersive experience was more than just a field trip; it was a reflection of ILIA's commitment to empowering youth with knowledge, fostering curiosity, and building strong identities grounded in leadership and service.
