Final project

Students will gain an in-depth experience in building small radar systems. Participants will be challenged to build a Doppler and range radar by using creative problem-solving strategies. This hands-on program allows students to work with highly talented scientists and engineers. LLRISE will be held both at MIT campus in Cambridge, MA and Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA. Students will move into the MIT dormitories on Sunday, July 9, and move out of the dormitories on Saturday, July 22. However, due to the unpredictability surrounding COVID-19 and its variants regarding safety concerns and policy changes, this decision to hold a residential program is subject to change.

To participate, students and their parents must agree to comply with COVID-related safety policies and protocols, including that students must be fully vaccinated or have a medical or religious exemption. Persons from underrepresented groups including, but not limited to, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Pacific Islanders, women, persons with disabilities, and persons from disadvantaged backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
