INVESTING IN<br />

OUR FUTURE<br />

Heeding the call to inspire the next generation of<br />

explorers, the <strong>Orion</strong> team is actively pursuing <strong>NASA</strong>’s<br />

education mission by participating in Science,<br />

Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)<br />

activities across the country. The STEM Education<br />

Coalition is an outreach program designed to foster an<br />

awareness of the exciting advancements in science and<br />

technology and to inspire students to pursue careers<br />

in those fields. <strong>Orion</strong>’s STEM advocates contribute<br />

lessons and activities that allow budding engineers to<br />

experience aerospace technology first-hand.<br />

The Denver School of Science and Technology First Robotics<br />

team, mentored by Lockheed Martin engineers, proudly took<br />

Martin committed a $1 million dollar grant over five years towards<br />

curriculum development and expansion at the Denver school.
