4 RAYTHEON MATHMOVESU PROGRAM
HELPING STUDENTS
CONNECT WITH
MATH AND SCIENCE.
Since 2005, Raytheon has invested $60 million
in STEM initiatives through MathMovesU ® ,
the company’s flagship STEM program.
From virtual thrill rides, scholarships and
sponsorships to special events, interactive
experiences and national competitions,
MathMovesU ® engages students with
rich, dynamic content. It inspires them
to see math and science in a whole new
light, then supports them throughout
their academic careers as they set out to
strengthen our nation’s role as a global
innovation leader.
Composed of an ever-expanding family
of unique initiatives and key partnerships,
the program takes a holistic approach
to addressing the nation’s STEM
crisis. Connecting with students from
elementary school through college,
supporting educators and policymakers,
promoting racial and gender equality —
it’s all part of making a meaningful,
long-term impact that empowers
students to succeed.
Inspiring students.
When students plug in a guitar, ride
a skateboard or play a video game,
they’re having fun with math and
science — they just don’t know it.
By helping them make the connection,
MathMovesU ® inspires students to
create a new, lifelong relationship with
math and science, one that opens up
a world of career possibilities.
Several program components focus
on creating that initial spark, whether
through a national rocket-building
competition, a virtual thrill ride or
hands-on activities with professional
engineers. Scholarships, mentoring
programs and a host of other corporate
initiatives allow us to keep the spark
alive — and keep students engaged.
