Northrop Grumman Corporation's Laser Systems business unit recently partnered with the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering to offer seven Orange County high school students an exclusive tour of the college's state-of-the-art engineering facility through the company's Worthwhile to Help High School Youth (WORTHY) program.Driven by a nationwide demand for more student interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), WORTHY was created by Northrop Grumman to promote the pursuit of technical degrees and careers among high school students. The students have been participating in the program since August 2009.
The student participants were: Austin Lord, Demetrius Gordon, Jeff Childers, Melissa Pennington, Ebony Fitzgerald, Steeve Delius, and Brandon Singh. The students learned how to program a robot arm to write their name. They also met current engineering students who gave them insight on what it was like to major in engineering.
Northrop Grumman is one of the world's leading manufacturers of military Electro-Optical (EO) targeting systems.
