Northrop Grumman is collaborating with the St. Vrain Valley School District, the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) to create virtual camps for middle and high school students, focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Providing useful curriculum materials

Through Northrop Grumman’s support, schools within the St. Vrain school district, CU Boulder and UCCS are able to provide curriculum materials for students who attend.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for us to work with Northrop Grumman,” said Axel Reitzig, coordinator of Innovation, St. Vrain Valley School District. “They have provided us with the necessary resources to create a meaningful, educational STEM experience for hundreds of students.”

Learning from Northrop Grumman employees

Northrop Grumman’s virtual STEM camps will provide more than 100 students with an opportunity to work collaboratively and learn about cybersecurity, machine learning and robotics.

Students will also hear from Northrop Grumman staff who work in the STEM fields.

"Every year, these camps inspire young people to pursue STEM education,” said Calvin Pennamon, Director, Overhead Persistent Infrared Exploitation System, Northrop Grumman. “It is our privilege to partner with local schools and universities, and to help develop the next generation of STEM talent.”

The camps last several weeks and the new virtual format enables students from various locations to participate.
