STEM Outreach
At DRS Daylight Solutions we believe that ‘Good Causes can be Great Business’. This drives our enthusiasm for developing laser-based products that protect aircraft, ground vehicles, and soldiers and our cancer diagnostics microscopes, drug development instruments, and lasers for basic research. Our motto is To Protect with Light!
Good causes also drive our enthusiasm for STEM Outreach. As leaders in our field (Photonics and related business, engineering, and science fields), we believe we all have a responsibility to pass on our passion and learnings to the next generation. Through the Daylight Solutions STEM Community, we are able to connect to our local San Diego community, expand photonics education and awareness, expand STEM enthusiasm into the next generation of engineers and scientists, and have a ton of fun! Please look at all we are doing and connect with us on more ideas you would love to see us launch. Thank you for joining us in this good cause!
