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.
Beaver Works
Project-based learning lets students explore solutions to real-world problems.
Beaver Works Summer Institute
The Beaver Works Summer Institute is a transformational STEM experience, using project-based, workshop-style programs for rising high school seniors. We also work with public schools and teachers conducting STEM courses for their students.
G.I.R.L. - Girls' Innovation Research Lab
G.I.R.L. provides hands-on activities to make electronics and programming accessible to middle school girls.
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.
Internships via AFCEA
The Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) arranges internships for 40 high school seniors interested in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. Lincoln Laboratory selects two students to do hands-on, project-related work with a mentor.
Lincoln Coders
Students learn how to build their own chatbots, games, and animations using their choice of Scratch, JavaScript, or Python. Lectures include topics related to coding, programming, and artificial intelligence.
LL EduCATE
LL EduCATE (Lincoln Laboratory Courses for Accessible, Technical Education) visits underserved schools to introduce students to core engineering skills to see how STEM topics can apply to their own lives. Each course practices a hands-on engineering application.
LLCipher
LLCipher workshop is a one-week program that introduces high school students to cryptography, an approach to securing data.
LLRISE
Lincoln Laboratory Radar Introduction for Student Engineers (LLRISE) is a two-week radar workshop for rising high school seniors.
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.
