  "description": "Are you fascinated by space and want to learn how to receive data from satellites and weather probes? Join us in this TinyGS Station Workshop where you\u2019ll build and program your ground station and antenna to receive data from space. This hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop is perfect for anyone interested in radio, electronics, IOT, antenna design, and space exploration.\r\n\r\n**[TinyGS](https://tinygs.com//)** \r\nTinyGS is an open community-run network of Ground Stations distributed around the world to receive and operate LoRa satellites, weather probes and other flying objects, using cheap and versatile modules. With a TinyGS ground station, you can receive data from a variety of sources, such as CubeSats.\r\n\r\nWhat You\u2019ll Learn: During the workshop, you\u2019ll learn how to build and program a TinyGS ground station and a quarter-wave ground plane antenna. No prior experience is required, and we\u2019ll provide all the necessary materials, tools, and equipment to guide you through the process.\r\n\r\n**Requirements**:  \r\nA device with a web browser and WiFi,  such as a phone or laptop.\r\nA  [Telegram](https://telegram.org/) account \r\nNo previous experience, beginner-friendly \r\n\r\n**Materials Costs**:  \r\nIt costs \u20ac80 for a kit to take home. You will have your very own ground station. Pair it with a waterproof box, and you will be ready to pick up satellites. \r\n\r\n**Instructions**:\r\n[https://www.tog.ie/build-your-own-satellite-ground-station-tinygs-compressed/](https://www.tog.ie/build-your-own-satellite-ground-station-tinygs-compressed/)\r\n\r\nTaught by [Jeffrey Roe](https://chaos.social/@tdr112).  \r\n***Buy a kit at the Hardware Hacking Area to guarantee a seat, or come by early! (And please do arrive early, regardless!)***",
