Season 2

Welcome to LabTV, created by the National Defense Education Program. At the K-12 (pre-college) level, NDEP emphasizes hands-on learning experiences and encourages students and teachers of all ages to "learn by doing" with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Learning Modules. This is season the second season of LabTV Webisodes. These webisodes are aimed at enhancing and building America's strength in science, technology, engineering and math by showing the amazing research that is everyday work at various Department of Defense labs around the country.
