THE
TECHNOLOGY AND Presentations that address the potential for Environmental Solutions based on science, computer science, engineering and technology. Sample
Ideas, Service Projects and Innovations for the Great communicators inspire people and empower them to take action. There are so many actions that you can take, to make a difference in your communities, New York and/or the world. Here are just a few suggestions of Environmental Solutions topics that might inspire YOU to create a fantastic and compelling 2-3 minute video. Feel free to talk about something that is not on this list or something that is so cool and creative that nobody has ever thought of it before!! Remember, the videos will be judged on the creativity, innovation and overall content of your "Environmental Solution" as well as your ability to integrate "The 5 Secrets" into your delivery of your ideas.

A
Message from Dr. Ray Johnson, Chief Technology Officer, It is a great pleasure to sponsor "The Technology and The Environment Competition" for The New York City Schools. As a global security company, Lockheed Martin recognizes the economic and strategic challenges posed by a dependence on foreign oil and the potentially destabilizing effect of climate change. That is why we are leveraging our more than 140,000 innovative minds in the Corporation to help address the world’s energy and climate challenges. Lockheed Martin is innovating solutions in all aspects of the energy cycle – energy generation, storage, transmission, and efficiency and management. We are supporting alternative energy generation and climate monitoring research and development, and increasing our energy efficiency through a Go Green Initiative to reduce our own environmental impact. This competition gives the participants a chance to share their ideas, innovations, and novel approaches to solving these grand environmental challenges. We at Lockheed Martin look forward to watching each one of the Technology Videos that you submit, and we wish you the best of luck in the competition. Creative and innovative people are vital to the future of Lockheed Martin. It is exciting to have the opportunity to interact with young people on their way to becoming future engineers and scientists. I encourage all students to continue their individual studies and choose an education filled with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. Lockheed Martin’s future and the future of the Nation depend on a motivated and well-educated workforce having these STEM skills. I
look forward to meeting the Finalists in New York City during
the awards ceremony in early 2010. |
