Coming Black Friday: Unseen Signals. Before podca Coming Black Friday: Unseen Signals.

Before podcasts, playlists, and streaming, there was radio, and one inventor helped make it sound the way we know it today. Unseen Signals, a traveling exhibit from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Global Museum, tells the story of Edwin H. Armstrong, the radio pioneer and IEEE Medal of Honor recipient whose work helped build the broadcasting industry.

Opening Friday, November 27th at miSci. Follow along for sneak peeks in the weeks ahead.
