Lincoln Labs’ Science on Saturday: Curious About COVID, Dec. 12

MIT Lincoln Laboratory is offering its Science on Saturdays programs virtually this year, and registration is NOT required. The programs are free and designed for children aged 5-17, their parents, and teachers. On Saturday, December 12 at 10AM, the program will be Curious About COVID, in two parts:

  • Part 1:  Wide-area Fever Screening will describe the building of a prototype digital imaging system to measure body temperatures of crowds of people.
  • Part 2: Become a Junior Epidemiologist will present an online game to help explain terms such as quarantine, contact tracing, super-spreader, exponential growth, herd immunity, isolation, protect the vulnerable, and flatten the curve.
