As part of its commitment to thought leadership and education in the aerospace and defense industry, Raytheon has scheduled the following media briefings at its chalet.

Raytheon's success in technology leadership is based upon a strong foundation of, and commitment to, education. Through the company's MathMovesU^® program, Raytheon is fostering student interest in math and science in the U.S. and around the world.

An example of the company's commitment to math and science education in the Middle East is the upcoming launch of Raytheon's MathAlive!^® educational exhibit at the Abu Dhabi Science Festival. Customized for regional audiences, MathAlive! is a unique interactive experience designed to spark interest in math and science among students between 7 and 15 years old and inspire them to explore technology-based careers of the future, helping to support and sustain the region's economy. MathAlive! will be present across the region over the next five years touring a number of venues.
