We know that students’ passion for science and technology starts early, which is why our company has several programs dedicated to providing high school students with hands-on experience in STEM through intensive programs hosted by BAE Systems.
Our Fostering Opportunities and Careers Utilizing STEM (FOCUS) program invites students to participate in an 11-week curriculum where they receive instruction and mentoring by employees while teaming up with other students to use what they learn to build a working robot.
Our Women in Technology (WIT) program hosts young women in high school for 9 to 16 weeks while they learn about emerging technologies through hands-on activities. In the past ten years, nearly 1,000 students have graduated from these programs.
