"Science of Sports" Science Fair
Raytheon Company and the New England Patriots annually host a "Science of Sports" Science Fair at Gillette Stadium.
The "Science of Sports" Science Fair is the culmination of a five-month program. It involves more than 50 Raytheon employee volunteers making weekly visits to the 12 Boys & Girls Clubs locations (Billerica, Dorchester, Framingham, Lawrence, Lowell, Marlborough, Nashua, Newport, Pawtucket, Roxbury, Waltham and Woburn) to help imagine and execute projects that explore math or science through sports.
This year, 18 teams spanning New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island displayed their projects highlighting the science and math elements of popular sports.
The competing teams presented their projects to a panel of judges, including Raytheon's Chairman and CEO William H. Swanson, New England Patriots' Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft.
Each member of the winning team received a $1,000 scholarship provided by Raytheon and the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation. This year, the program also introduced $750 and $500 scholarships for the second and third place winning teams, respectively.
