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

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.

Lincoln Laboratory STEM outreach has returned to in-person programming, but please note, this decision is subject to change as we continue to monitor safety concerns and policy changes surrounding COVID-19 and its variants.
