Discovery Lab - Global (DLG) is a not-for-profit organization serving students … globally … to give them a chance to gain early hands-on experience on cutting edge technology projects. Students participate as part of a team in project-based experiential learning opportunities centered around a range of technologies. Example technology areas include:

  • Virtual Reality - e.g creating artificial intelligence (AI) command center

  • Artificial Intelligence - e.g. video game that teaches itself how to play

  • Big Data Analytics - e.g. structured analysis of social-media data streams

  • Cyber Security Fundamentals - e.g. prototype ethical hacking test bed

  • Wearable Technologies - e.g. cardiac alert shirt - when minutes matter

  • Robotics / Neural Science - e.g. thought controlled mini-humanoid robot

  • Expendable 3D Printed Drone Engineering - e.g. med supply delivery

  • … and more.

In addition, special invitation will be extended to students hand-picked to participate in the summer’s Leadership Development Track (LDT) under their chosen project area based on their demonstrated technical and professional performance. This track will be supervised by a senior level professional who has decades of technical and professional experience as a researcher, educator, technology developer, change agent, and past recipient of a national engineer of the year award. This unique leadership development experience is designed to help accelerate the technical and professional development of our nation’s future entrepreneurial innovators and industry / community leaders.

 

High School

 

If you are a junior or senior high school student and are looking to gain real world experience and enhance your portfolio, DLG has an excellent program that will make your resume and application stand out from the crowd. DLG projects are designed to accelerate a student’s technical and professional development. Students will get college-level project experience on cutting edge technologies such as AI, cyber, drones, …

Undergraduate

DLG offers a flexible, part time internship designed to accelerate the technical and professional development of highly motivated 1st and 2nd year undergraduate students seeking challenging but rewarding project-based experiences early in their academic career. DLG projects are designed to give highly motivated students a 2 to 3 year jump start on their peers.

Veterans

 

DLG partnered with a university and IT company to create a Cybersecurity Camp which taught an Intro to Cybersecurity Fundamentals in our 3D virtual cybersecurity campus as an NSA-funded pilot. We continue to periodically offer this no-cost opportunity to veterans interested in exploring cybersecurity either as a potential future career or to better understanding its growing importance in their jobs or home IT network.

“...We hope DLG can continue offering such projects to students so that they can use cutting-edge technologies to solve real-world problems, make them well-rounded through STEAM experiences, and prepare them for a bright future.  We really feel fortunate that our daughter got this summer internship opportunity.”
