educational approach offersseveral advantages. Learning to create custom antennas can be a cost-effective solution forstudents with limited budgets, enabling them to gain necessary hands-on experience withoutexorbitant costs. Through this process of hands-on experimentation, the students can gain holisticperspective that will allow them to develop a more profound understanding of the scope of theirwork and elements involved. Lastly, this encourages skill development that introduces complexdevices that have practical applications which can then lead to a career path that aligns with theirinterests or goals. Some students may become interested in expanding on the applications ofantennas, while others may be interested in the development, delving deeper
