CAMP REQUIREMENTS & EXPECTATIONS
A special one-week virtual version of the Lincoln Laboratory Radar Introduction for Student Engineers radar workshop, this camp will be a fun and rigorous experience for students who love math and science. The camp is open to all high school TAME club members and their sponsors.
What you will receive
MIT Lincoln Lab will ship a radar to you before the program. It is reusable and will be yours to keep.
What the program will be like
Participants will learn to perform experiments with Doppler radar, have real world supplemental seminars in between lectures, and have office hours live with instructors. Great practice for a college experience! Club sponsors who want to participate are invited to apply and can use their radar kit and skills to perform experiments with their TAME Clubs and in their classrooms.
Schedule
Participants must be fully available with internet & computer access during these hours. Breaks will be scheduled.
Sunday, March 13 – 2:00 – 3:30 pm
Monday, March 14 through Friday, March 18 – 10:00-4:00 pm
Hardware requirements
A good WiFi signal is necessary. A laptop is preferable so you can take your radar outside. Microsoft Windows is preferred due to the software needed. Macs will be possible but more difficult to use. You may not use a Chromebook for this course.
Class requirements
MIT LL is looking for students who have a passion for science, engineering, and math. There are no class requirements! Pre-calculus and some physics would be helpful, but a student who has not taken those courses yet is still encouraged to apply if they have a passion for STEM and a willingness to learn and ask questions.
Final presentations – family, friends, & TAME Clubs welcome!
On Friday, March 18, participants will make their final presentations about their experiments. As this is a virtual event hosted on Zoom, participants can invite parents, extended family, TAME Club Sponsors, and fellow students to watch the presentation and cheer on their participant.
Please contact TAME if you have any issues or questions regarding the applications.
What’s next?
Student and club sponsor applications will be reviewed by MIT to select participants. Selected participants will be notified by MIT by February 21.
Students who participate in the LLRISE Spring Break at TAME event will be strongly encouraged to apply for the full two-week Lincoln Laboratory Radar Introduction for Student Engineers (LLRISE) radar workshop, as well as the LLCipher one-week summer cryptography program. These programs will be held on the MIT campus in summer 2022. These camps are free to attend, but students would need to pay for their transportation to Boston.
