HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Students in Lee High School’s Earth and Space Science, Forensics, and Biology classes had the opportunity this week to learn directly from professionals at Lockheed Martin.
During the half-day event, representatives from the aerospace and defense company shared their personal career journeys and explained the many career pathways available within Lockheed Martin, including engineering, technology, logistics, and business operations.
After the discussion, students participated in a hands-on STEM activity, assembling solar-powered race cars using kits provided by Lockheed Martin. The exercise encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity while connecting classroom science concepts to real-world applications.
Each student received a swag bag with informational materials and other items to take home.
Lee High School expressed appreciation for Lockheed Martin’s commitment to student learning and career readiness. “Events like these help students see that what they learn in science class has direct connections to future careers,” said a school representative. “It’s an inspiring reminder that STEM is everywhere.”
Lockheed Martin’s visit is part of Lee High’s ongoing effort to expose students to industry professionals and engage them in hands-on learning experiences that make science meaningful and relevant.
