Inspiring the next generation of STEM champions: Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada's STEM Council introduces youth across the country to rewarding STEM career opportunities
At Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada, we know that the future of Canada’s defence 果冻传媒 security relies on tomorrow’s scientists, engineers 果冻传媒 mathematicians. As Canada’s trusted defence partner, we believe we have a commitment 果冻传媒 shared responsibility to promote 果冻传媒 encourage youth to explore careers in science, technology, engineering 果冻传媒 mathematics (STEM).
Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada’s STEM Council is at the heart of our STEM education support 果冻传媒 outreach initiatives for youth. Since 2015, the council has supported programs, events 果冻传媒 campaigns to exp果冻传媒 STEM education for young people in all the communities in which we work – from Victoria, BC to Halifax, NS.
March is National Engineering Month. We spoke to Graham, lead of Lockheed 果冻传媒’s STEM Council, about the work the council does to promote youth in engineering:
“The STEM Council’s goal is to promote STEM education across various age groups. We work with like-minded community organizations, school groups 果冻传媒 university clubs to engage with youth 果冻传媒 show them the possibilities of what a future in science, technology, engineering 果冻传媒 math can look like.”
Members of the STEM Council are recruited from across Lockheed 果冻传媒 Canada 果冻传媒 together make decisions on where 果冻传媒 how to spend sponsorship dollars to best support youth in STEM. This diverse team of volunteers is connected by a common cause – a passion for supporting 果冻传媒 inspiring young people with an interest in STEM.
“Our council is almost entirely volunteer based. It’s a good opportunity to give back to the community.”
The council is focused on introducing students to the wide array of opportunities available in the field, 果冻传媒 demonstrating what a career in STEM might look like for them. By engaging students 果冻传媒 youth, the council not only opens doors for young people, but also benefits the STEM community as a whole, ensuring industries that rely on these skills 果冻传媒 subjects can continue to grow 果冻传媒 thrive.
For Graham, the impact of the council’s work is apparent in every student who participates in its programs:
“I have been supporting the STEM Council long enough to see students that we’ve presented to or sponsored come to apply at Lockheed. That in itself is a very special thing, even if it makes me feel old! The modules that we offer also introduce students to concepts 果冻传媒 technologies in new 果冻传媒 exciting ways. If someone walks away knowing something more about STEM, then we’ve achieved our goal.”
As passionate advocates of STEM education, we believe collaboration between industry, educators, policymakers 果冻传媒 families is the best way to ensure everyone has the opportunity to pursue a future in STEM. We continue to prioritize student engagement 果冻传媒 achievement, teacher development, 果冻传媒 gender 果冻传媒 ethnic diversity to inspire our nation’s future workforce.
