Raytheon is a major U.S. defense contractor and industrial corporation with military and commercial electronics, and a valued partner to San Diego Unified.
Have you ever wondered how Sonar navigation works? San Diego Unified Middle Schoolers can explain how!
Each year Raytheon hosts students from across the district to their Innovation Lab at their Kearny Mesa campus to learn directly from engineers while simulating real world scenarios.
The Innovation Lab is designed for 8th grade students to learn about engineering and participate in robotics experiments to promote the importance of STEM skills and opportunities for all. Students gain a unique perspective of how Raytheon is supporting humanitarian efforts around the globe. Students work together and utilize 21st century skills to manipulate code that allows a robot to navigate multiple scenarios.
During the 2019-2020 school year students from Wilson MS, Riley K-8, Mt. Everest Academy, Farb MS, Mann MS, Bethune K-8, Monroe Clark MS, and the Language Academy will be participating!
