Get ready to tune in and turn on your curiosity! In this month’s Sound Bites, participants will build their very own working radio.
With guidance from our instructors, kids will explore the basics of how radios work while assembling a hands-on kit they can take home. Along the way, they’ll discover how invisible radio waves carry sound through the air and power the technology we use every day.
This is a guided, start-to-finish activity, perfect for curious minds who love to build, tinker, and learn by doing. By the end of the session, each participant will have a functioning radio—and a deeper understanding of the science behind it.
Recommended for ages 8 and up.
A suggested donation of $20 helps cover the cost of materials.
Please note: Advance registration is required, as kits are limited. Participants must arrive promptly at 10:00 AM and attend with a grown-up, who should plan to stay and participate throughout the activity.

An Afternoon with Lee Hammer
Join the California Historical Radio Society for an afternoon with Lee Hammer. &nbsp;Over the 25 years Lee spent with the San Francisco cluster of stations owned by Susquehanna and then Cumulus, Lee’s portfolio included roles as Program Director at KNBR, KGO, and KSFO while continuing to be directly involved in sports broadcasts (notably the San Francisco Giants) produced by those stations.
With his 44 year career in radio, and the last 25 in sports at KNBR, Lee has a presentation highlighting the great sports announcers, and great sports moments that we have experienced here in the Bay Area over the last 50 years or so. &nbsp;This event will involve a presentation in which Lee plays some of the greatest highlights from the likes of Lon Simmons, Bill King, Duane Kuiper, Jon Miller, Joe Starkey, Greg Papa, Ted Robinson, Don Klein and other greats!
