Bo Lowrey has more than 40 years of involvement in space science, ranging from a space-focused Amateur Radio organization where he was the area coordinator for Kentucky, to his most recent outreach activity as a contributor of all things related to space science in the non-formal and informal education community. He frequently speaks to local after school astronomy and engineering clubs, to groups at public libraries, and has spoken at several educational and scientific conferences on STEM topics. He works with middle and secondary students to place experiments on the International Space Station, and is a volunteer at Flight Club 502 (a youth STEM organization focused on Aeronautics). He attends NASA and JPL training opportunities whenever possible. He retired from the Jefferson County Public Schools where he was the Director of Telecommunications, held the same position at the University of Louisville, and formerly was the Director of Space Science at the National Air and Space Education Institute. Today, much of his time is spent as a volunteer with AMSAT (Amateur Satellite Corporation), where he holds the position of Director, AMSAT Ambassador Program. His Amateur Radio call sign is W4FCL.
