SETI Institute will be at ISU on 6 October 10:00 am - 3:00 pm and will host 2 hands-on workshops. Workshops will be 10:00 am - 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. Free lunch will be provided to attendees participating in at least one of the workshops.   2nd Event 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm at Old Union 129 Mars Orbiters and the Search for Technosignatures Investigate the concept of technosignatures, signals that may indicate the presence of advanced technology and life in the universe, through the analysis of real radio data from the Tianwen-1 Mars orbiter. Students visualize and classify different types of radio signals, learning to distinguish between natural phenomenon, human-made interference, and potential artificial signals from space. By examining the spectral features of Tianwen-1's transmission, students explore how spacecraft signals can serve as analogs for interstellar communication, and reflect on what makes a signal detectable over large distances. This lab culminates in a creative activity where students apply their knowledge of technosignatures to design their own radio signal that would be detectable to another civilization in the galaxy. This lab includes the option to conduct live observations of the Tianwen-1 spacecraft signal using the Allen Telescope Array, giving students a hands-on opportunity to collect and analyze real-time data from an active spacecraftHosted by: Redbirds in SpaceAdditional Information can be found at: https://redbirdlife.illinoisstate.edu/event/11706165
