Raytheon sponsors the Team America Rockerty Challenge (TARC) winning Student 'Rocketeer' team's trip to an international air show and hosts the UKAYRoC winners.

"This trip to the Paris International Air Show recognizes the achievements of the TARC and UKAYRoC winners and rewards their interest in math and science," said Pam Wickham, Raytheon's vice president of Corporate Affairs and Communications.

"We hope this visit will encourage further study and interest by immersing them in the exciting career opportunities to be found in the aerospace and defense industry."

In addition to the trip to Paris, the TARC winners share a prize package of $60,000 in scholarships and prizes with other top finishers, as well as an invitation from NASA to participate in its Student Launch Initiative, an advanced rocketry program.
