March 16, 17, & 18, 2007Montgomery County Science FairWe start with this simple equation:education = the futureAs a premier large-scale systems integrator, Lockheed Martin has built a reputation and staked itsfuture on pushing forward the frontiers of science and engineering. Educating the next-generation ofinventive and creative people figures into all our equations. That’s why Lockheed Martin supports avariety of educational programs from Space Day, to university grants, to strengthening math andscience education from kindergarten through grade 12. At Lockheed Martin, we believe this is theformula for a bright future.1
