In our demonstration on radar systems, Science on Saturday participants learn how radar measures speed of a moving object.

Outreach

Making an Impact in our Community

As part of our commitment for service to the nation and local communities, Lincoln Laboratory’s volunteer-based educational outreach encourages students to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. We strive to foster interest in STEM and help young people gain confidence to tackle technical challenges.

Online Course - Radar: Introduction to Radar Systems

This set of 10 lectures, about 11+ hours in duration, was excerpted from a three-day course developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory to provide an understanding of radar systems concepts and technologies to military officers and DoD civilians involved in radar systems development, acquisition, and related fields. That three-day program consisted of a mixture of lectures, demonstrations, laboratory sessions, and tours.
Students in FTC are challenged to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in head-to-head competitions.

Robotics: FIRST Technical Challenge (FTC)

FIRST Tech Challenge is a national robotics program for students in grades 7–12 who are interested in building and programming their own robot from a kit and then testing it in competition against other teams.
We sponsor robotics programs through the FIRST program. Teams build and program a robot and compete in local and state tournaments.

Robotics: FIRST LEGO League (FLL)

Guided by coaches, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Lego League robotics teams (made up of students in grades 4–8) research a real-world problem, such as food safety, recycling, or energy, and are challenged to develop a solution. Students also build a robot from a Lego kit and learn how to program it to complete specific obstacles.
We sponsor all age levels of robotics teams as they explore programming, robotics, and science and technology concepts.
