Partnerships with mit Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Program Stem is a year-round academic enrichment program including mentoring and a summer institute for middle-school students from Boston, Cambridge, and lawrence. the courses use lectures, projects, and experiments to help participants develop mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities in preparation for high-school “gateway” math and science classes, in an attempt to increase the number of local students in the technical workforce. lincoln laboratory’s <strong>involvement</strong> in this program consisted of • Sponsoring a robotics course for 20+ students • Providing tours of laboratory facilities • Presenting a Science on Saturday demonstration at a school location Ceres Connection The Ceres Connection names minor planets in honor of students and their teachers. under the Ceres Connection program, minor planets discovered by lincoln laboratory’s near-earth Asteroid Research program are named in honor of science students in grades 5–12 and their teachers. the honorees are selected through science competitions directed by the Science education Department at the Society for Science & the Public. to date, approximately 2500 students and their teachers have been honored. each year, the Ceres Connection program awards about 250 students with this honor. 8
local Schools and teachers Science on Saturday on Tour lincoln laboratory is taking the already successful Science on Saturday demonstration “How Computers Work” to mit to celebrate the 150th anniversary of mit in April 2011. this demonstration lets children show how computers communicate using 0s and 1s (right). laboratory scientists will be presenting demonstrations at the tech expo for this event, as well. Sister Robotics Teams Roll forged a collaboration with Arlington High School by mentoring a rookie team for the FiRSt robotics competition. With the help of laboratory mentors, the Arlington team received guidance on how to design, build, and program their robot for competition. this rookie team even hosted a scrimmage for area teams, learning many new techniques from the visiting teams. 9 e D u C At i o n A l O U T R E A C H
