Making an Impact in our Community
Community service and educational outreach are important to us. Our outreach programs are motivated by the desire of our employees to help people in need and to encourage students' interest and participation in engineering and science.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, MIT Lincoln Laboratory outreach programs will be virtual until further notice based on MIT's safety policies. This includes LLRISE, LLCipher, Science on Saturday, and all other scheduled programming. Thank you for your continued interest in Lincoln Laboratory’s STEM programs.
