4-H Robotics: A program that seeks to help young people develop their engineering and technology passion and proficiency through new, high-quality robotics curricula, use of digital technologies, robotics clubs, and competitions.

Engineers in the Classroom: Through this STEM education outreach initiative, Lockheed Martin provides numerous opportunities for our employees to interact with and inspire the next generation of engineers and technologists by serving as local school advisors, extracurricular activity mentors and career role models for students in communities where we live and work.

K-12 STEM Match: Lockheed Martin continues to look for ways to improve the lives of its employees, better align itself with its philanthropic efforts and create inclusive employee programs. We most recently launched a new K-12 company matching program for employees by partnering with DonorsChoose.org to support STEM education in our local communities.

Generation Beyond: a first of its kind, national educational program to bring the science of space into thousands of homes and classrooms across America. The program is designed to inspire the next generation of innovators, explorers, inventors and pioneers to pursue STEM careers.

Code Quest: A computer programming competition that puts high school student’s coding skills to the test by solving problems created by Lockheed Martin Information Technology professionals.

Great Minds in STEM (GMiS): GMiS offers a series of targeted K-12 educational programs that promote college readiness, awareness, and access to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) among traditionally underrepresented groups: Viva Technology, National STEM Awareness Program, K-12 Educators’ Institute, STEM-Up Initiative. Students participating in GMIS’ Viva Technology program experience a day filled with fun, hands-on STEM-focused activities.

Girls Inc.: Our pilot program connects Lockheed Martin volunteers with girls ages 9-12 to strengthen their interest and confidence in pursuing STEM education and careers

Project Lead The Way (PLTW): Project Lead The Way provides transformative learning experiences for K-12 students and teachers across the U.S. We create an engaging, hands-on classroom environment and empower students to develop in-demand knowledge and skills they need to thrive. We also provide teachers with the training, resources, and support they need to engage students in real-world learning.

Imagine Science: Lockheed Martin is supporting four of the nation’s largest youth development organizations — the Boys & Girls Club of America, The National 4-H Council, YMCA of the USA, and Girls Inc. — in a multi-year partnership to jointly tackle the challenge of engaging under-represented youth in STEM learning.

FIRST Robotics: FIRST Robotics encourages the pursuit of STEM fields through its robotics programs. Each year, FIRST reaches more than 400,000 young people worldwide, nearly 40,000 teams, and builds more than 30,000 robots. A Lockheed Martin employee who is actively mentoring a FIRST team may apply for a grant through the sponsorship application site.
