Corp. will host 20 elementary, middle and high school teachers as part of a fellowship program to build a workforce with strong math, science and technology skills.”

The eight-week program pairs teachers “with an industry mentor” and “augments his or her science and math skills by solving real-world problems.” The teachers are expected “to use the experience to stimulate student interest in math and science.”

This year, the fellowship “will focus on technical challenges associated with space-based programs…including satellite telecommunications, missiles, defense systems and other advanced technologies.”
