Additional Info
Raytheon's MathMovesU program is an innovative initiative designed to engage middle school students in math by illustrating the connection between math, their passions and interests and “cool” careers. Since its inception in 2005 to help spur interest in math and science, Raytheon's MathMovesU program has touched the lives of more than 1,000,000 students, teachers and parents. Through interactive learning programs, contests, live events, scholarships, tutoring programs and more, MathMovesU engages and inspires students. Raytheon believes that tomorrow's engineers and technologists need to be excited by and interested in math today.
MathMovesU in 2010 is the year of perpetuating Math and Science education programs, while increasing awareness and creating a stronger impact. Core components of the MathMovesU program include:
- Sum of all Thrills™ at INNOVENTIONS at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Opening in Fall 2009, the interactive, math-based exhibit will engage children through a fun and educational experience that helps instill a lifelong passion for math, science and technology.
- The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon, which promotes math and science education through football for the thousands of school children expected to visit each year. Raytheon has developed an interactive learning display named “In the Number” inside the Hall.
Developed in partnership with the Kraft family, Patriot Place is the official home of the New England Patriots Hall of Fame
- Title sponsorship of the MATHCOUNTS National Competition held annually in May, the culmination of an enrichment and coaching program that promotes middle school achievement in every U.S. state and territory, Raytheon also supports MATHCOUNTS teams and sponsors multiple state competitions.
- MathMovesU, a virtual space to educate and entertain middle school students through games and activities that showcase the math behind students' favorite pastimes. The interactive website also includes MathMovesUniversity, which offers information on scholarships, a homework helper and a math dictionary.
A scholarship and grants program that awards $1 million annually to students, teachers and schools. Middle school students are eligible to receive a $1,000 award to attend math and science summer camps and programs across the country, or save the money for college. Math teachers and volunteers are eligible to receive a $2,500 Math Hero award for improving math education. A matching grant is awarded to each winner's school.
