Discovery Lab, a partnership of WBI and AFRL, brings together multidisciplinary, joint teams into the Tec^Edge environment for a period of a few weeks to one or more years, allowing for intense collaboration on a specific challenge or opportunity.
Teams include government, university, small business, and industry researchers. Discovery Lab is also the home of the Summer-at-the-Edge (SATE) and Year-at-the-Edge (YATE) Student Intern Program that bring high school to PhD students together with research sponsors from across the nation.
These research connections are further facilitated by the virtual reality Virtual Discovery Center to help generate future resident projects. For more information visit our experimenting page.
