“There was a time in which I was just like these students. Here I am today, working in a profession I enjoy. I want students to follow their dreams and I hope that path leads them to a STEM career”.
The above mentioned project is titled “Designed for Service” and forms part of a larger initiative called Generation Beyond, the said programme was launched by Lockheed Martin in the year of 2016 with the partnership of Discovery Education.

The press release from the Lockheed Martin stated:
“Our site in Texas delivers breakthrough capabilities and landmark aircraft that continually redefine flight, including the Fort Worth-built F-35 Lightning II.
“Palmdale and Western Hills High Schools both offer Project Lead The Way engineering curriculum, which was a selection criteria for the Designed for Service project”.
