Armstrong. The exhibit traces Armstrong’s contributions to electronic communication by highlighting his technological innovations\, patriotism\, and the continuing relevance of his achievements. Beginning with an exploration of the humble origins of the radio era during the early 20th century\, we invite visitors to immerse themselves in Armstrong’s university years\, his military service during the First World War\, his alliance with the Radio Corporation of America (RCA)\, and the rise of the radio broadcasting industry. \nBetween Armstrong’s triumphs and tragedies\, Unseen Signals reveals the profound cultural and political impact of broadcasting and the influence of WWI and WWII on wireless communication. It recaptures how men\, women\, and children participated in the radio revolution through photographs\, advertisements\, and our unique collection of radio-branded cultural items and ephemera. Come and see the prototype (superheterodyne) radio from which modern radios are descended\, explore period photographs and cultural artifacts\, and engage with touchscreen interactives featuring original broadcasts and short documentary films. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About IEEE\n \n More About Unseen Signals URL:https://pavekmuseum.org/event/unseen-signals-the-pavek-museums-traveling-exhibit/ LOCATION:Pavek Museum\, 3517 Raleigh Ave\, St. Louis Park\, Minnesota\, 55416 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://pavekmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/featured-image-ieee.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260606T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260606T120000 DTSTAMP:20260602T065759 CREATED:20260519T221140Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260519T221144Z UID:10000174-1780738200-1780747200@pavekmuseum.org SUMMARY:Repair Right II: Transformer & All American Five Radios DESCRIPTION:Cost: $130 for members*; $150 for non-members​Date: June 6 &13 (Saturdays)Time: 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. each dayRecommended Ages: 16 and up**Status: Available \n*contact nina@pavekmuseum.org for your member discount code if you did not receive the email**Parent or guardian signature is required on all forms for any participants under the age of 18. \nRegister Here! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Repair Right II: Transformer & All American Five Radios\n \n \n \n \n \n Minnesota\, being a right-to-repair state\, enables individuals to take charge of fixing their electronics.
