The company's many-tiered MathMovesU program utilizes a host of engaging learning programs, including an interactive website, scholarships, sponsorships and events to help students from kindergarten through college remain interested in math and science and, by extension, ensure the continued strength of the American work force.

STEM Model Project:

In the fall of 2006, Raytheon engineers, who were training to become chief systems engineers, undertook a project that used systems engineering methodology to examine and model the country’s educational system. The goal: To create a tool to help policymakers, researchers and educators model scenarios to improve STEM learning.

With the generous support of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, Raytheon, the Business Higher Education Forum (BHEF) and Ohio State University are now working with a network of researchers and modelers to refine the model and make it available as an open source tool.
