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.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, MIT Lincoln Laboratory has suspended all summer K-12 outreach programs. This includes LLRISE, LLCipher, and all other scheduled programming. We are following MIT’s policy on K-12 Summer programming. In light of this announcement, Lincoln Laboratory is exploring ways we can modify these courses in a virtual environment. Thank you for your continued interest in Lincoln Laboratory’s STEM programs.

Girls' Engineering Workshop
Twice a year, 100 middle school girls visit Lincoln Laboratory for the day to explore engineering. They explore the contents of cellphones, cameras, and clocks to learn about the inner workings of various types of electronic devices.
LLCipher
LLCipher workshop is a one-week program that introduces high school students to cryptography, an approach to securing data.
LLRISE — Online Course
The Lincoln Laboratory Radar Introduction for Student Engineers (LLRISE) workshop is online. Teachers and students are provided with a list of materials and instructions on how to obtain them. Then the students can listen to the lectures and follow a video on how to build radar.
LLRISE — Teacher Training
We offer high school physics and science teachers an opportunity to take part in the Laboratory's two-week radar workshop for high school seniors. The goal is to introduce teachers to a hands-on program that they could implement in their classes or as an afterschool program.
