Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School science students have been invited to attend a fun, FREE science demonstration at Lincoln Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on Saturday, February 4, 2012.  The event is called “Spy Science.”  The speakers are Ms. Jessica Holland and the Lincoln Laboratory New Employees' Network.   "Most of us have probably imagined what it would be like to be a spy - but is being a spy really all it is cracked up to be?  Many spy jobs involve secretly, but patiently, collecting, interpreting, and verifying information.  The volunteer scientists and engineers will demonstrate technology that can be used to gather intelligence for a specific mission including: voice recognition and identification, detection and tracking, and cryptography.”  There are two sessions of Spy Science.  The first session is from 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. and the second session is from 10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.  You must register online (see Spy Science link above) and a parent and/or adult escort is required.  Everyone is invited to attend.  For more information, contact Dr. Todd H. Rider at thor@11.mit.edu.
