Year 12 students gathered at Lockheed Martin’s office this week to go through the art of the possible when it comes to the application of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) skills under the National Youth Science Program (NYSF).

The event hosted by Lockheed Martin also saw the company announce another three years of funding to the program, building on the four-year partnership already in place.

“This is where we’re partnering with Australia’s best minds in industry and the community to embark on a journey of discovery, exploration and problem solving,” Scott Thompson, Lockheed Martin’s Director International Business Development said at the event.

The $125,000 a year agreement sees the NYSF deliver STEM experiences for hundreds of students in both Canberra and now Brisbane as part of their engagement program with industry and university partners.

“When I was a senator, it was my absolute privilege to welcome NYSF students to parliament house as part of their program. I’d like to think that the program helped you to find what inspires you the most,” Kate Lundy, deputy co-chair of NYSF said.

“NYSF has been inspiring students for 35 years now with the support of their local Rotary clubs. The program continues to grow and give young people access to seeing the job that inspires them most.”
