Lockheed Martin Exploring Program Botball Project

Hey, you are looking at the coolest web site by the coolest engineering team!

Lockheed Martin Mission Systems in Gaithersburg Maryland sponsors an Exploring Program. It provides local high school teenagers with an exposure to careers in computer science and engineering. We accomplish this through tours, guest speakers, discussions, exercises, activities, and projects. The group, referred to as Explorer Post 1010, meets twice a month throughout the school year with industry engineers. To see what we are all about, visit our web site at http://www.missionsystems.lockheedmartin.com/exploring/.

Exploring is a worksite-based program that gives young women and men an opportunity to visit community organizations and explore the dynamics of potential careers. It is associated with Learning for Life, a national effort that prepares youth to handle the complexities of today's society and to enhance their self-confidence and motivation. If you would like to know more about these programs, visit http://www.learning-for-life.org.
