Northrop Grumman

Foundation Annual Report

2013

On behalf of the Northrop Grumman Foundation and its Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to present our 2013 annual report.

Our goal is to fund science, technology, engineering and math education (STEM) projects and programs that make a difference in the lives of students and their teachers. This annual report highlights a few of our endeavors and we hope you are as excited by these programs as we are.

We are also truly glad to be able to support our employees as they fund a variety of educational endeavors across the nation.

As Northrop Grumman’s business was enhanced internationally, our Foundation took a role in exploring global STEM opportunities. We saw our first international Space Campers visit us from the U.K. We are especially proud of this expansion of the Foundation’s mission to fund sustainable STEM projects across the globe. This promises to be very exciting for us!

It is such an honor to be able to meet students and teachers and bring unique education opportunities to them. What we do makes a difference in their lives today and in the future of our world. If you would like more information about the Foundation, please click here.

Thank you for your interest in the Northrop Grumman Foundation.

Sincerely,

Sandra Evers-Manly

ECO Classroom

With the goal of providing teachers with resources and learning opportunities in environmental science, we again collaborated with Conservation International to launch the ECO Classroom program. This unique, nationwide professional development program

equips teachers with knowledge and inspiration.

From July 21 to August 1, 2013, Conservation International staff hosted 16 middle and high school life sciences teachers — in biology, ecology, environmental and earth systems science — at the Conservation International’s tropical ecology assessment and monitoring network’s field site at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica.

Since the program’s inception, we have reached an estimated 8,500 science, technology, engineering and mathematics students from 32 U.S. middle and high schools.

The Foundation renewed its commitment as presenting sponsor for this Air Force Association (AFA) effort. CyberPatriot, which completed its fifth year in 2013, is the nation’s largest and fastest-growing high school cybersecurity defense competition designed to excite, educate and motivate the next generation of cyber-defenders. Students competed at the CyberPatriot V National Finals Competition March 14 - 16, 2013, in Washington, D.C.

We had 64 volunteers from across the corporation mentor students and provide technical assistance to teams. CyberPatriot offers an opportunity for our employees to support a critical need for our nation’s continued security and economic prosperity.

During 2013, we hired 32 CyberPatriots, up from 28 in 2012, who perform critical functions within Northrop Grumman programs and information security infrastructure across the United States. In addition, we maintain communication with many more

CyberPatriot competitors as they consider higher education options and careers in STEM disciplines. Through a robust communications campaign by Air Force Association representatives and Northrop Grumman communications and volunteers, we increased the number of teams to 1,225 in CyberPatriot V, up from 1,014 in CyberPatriot IV during 2012. Enrollment for CyberPatriot VI is 1,560 teams, representing a 136 percent increase since our sponsorship began.

Also in 2013, we began concept development for an elementary school element of CyberPatriot.

The AFA began rebranding CyberPatriot as “The National Youth Cyber Education Program.” In addition, efforts in 2013 included development of international expansion with initial engagement at the 2014 King Saud University Technology Symposium.

CyberPatriot V: High School Competition

VEX RoboticsWe increased our support of VEX Robotics to become the program’s presenting sponsor. This sponsorship helped teams globally and supported the world championship event. We chose to increase our support to this program based on the commitment of the VEX leadership team and their dedication to increasing student interest and involvement in STEM through hands-on, sustainable and affordable curriculum-based robotics engineering programs. Additionally, the organization is well-positioned to support program expansion globally.

More than 100,000 students from 8,000 teams competed in more than 400 events globally. These students represented 25 countries. For the 2013-2014 competition year, VEX will be able to establish teams and competitions in Australia and expand programming in the United Kingdom.

SciGirlsSciGirls is a PBS series that documents different groups of enthusiastic girls who collaborate, communicate, engineer and discover. The girls are accompanied by two animated characters who tie the series together both online and on television with their STEM-infused adventures. The SciGirls episodes, website and education materials are developed based on research showing what engages girls in STEM learning and careers.

The Foundation funding supports middle school students with 24 pilot programs in 15

states, reaching a diverse community of nearly 800 middle school girls with 25,000 hours of

instruction in computing and technology.

Space Camp

Our partnership with the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, supports student and educator participation in the program. Student campers went through the ultimate space adventure, participating in activities such as building and launching rockets, experiencing weightlessness in an astronaut-training simulator, and simulating space travel preparation. Their science teachers attended the Space Academy for Educators, a program designed to provide teachers the tools to enhance how they use STEM concepts in their classrooms. And, for the first time in five years of program support, we were able to expand the program internationally.

In 2013, we sponsored space campers comprised of 17 middle school teachers from eight states and 65 middle school students from 10 states and the District of Columbia. Two students and one teacher were from the United Kingdom.

The company received the Emerging Partner of the Year award from Prairie View A&M University.

A grant was presented to the University of Maryland College Park to launch the University of Maryland’s Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students (ACES) program which is the nation’s first undergraduate honors program in cybersecurity. This program represents a new model for cybersecurity education. The living-learning program will offer an intensive, interdisciplinary, accelerated curriculum in key technical, policy, behavioral and social science components of cybersecurity.

Higher education programs - ranging from STEM pipeline initiatives to diversity and academic organizations.

Disaster Relief Major natural disasters in the United States during 2013 affected several communities with a strong presence of Northrop Grumman employees. Additionally, Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines in November.

We are members of the American Red Cross’ Annual Disaster Giving Program. This program helps secure a reliable funding base for disaster relief services and enables Red Cross personnel to respond immediately to the needs of individuals and families affected by disaster.

Affected people received food, shelter, emotional support and other essential assistance with less delay. The Foundation matched that amount. Through Northrop Grumman, we also provided additional grants to organizations providing support for victims of the Colorado wildfires and flooding.

The Northrop Grumman Foundation board of directors approved an additional $150,000 grant to the American Red Cross to assist with immediate needs of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Additionally, a $150,000 matching gift program for employees was approved. We had a tremendous response from employees who donated a total of $154,602.

What an incredible year this has been! From helping students reach towards the stars through our partnership with the U.S. Space and Rocket Center to watching brilliant students from around the world develop VEX Robotics’ alliances to seeing ECO Classroom’s “classroom under the canopy” provide important professional development opportunities for educators, we have impacted an incredible number of students and their teachers. There is nothing like seeing and feeling the excitement and appreciation from everyone we come across as a result of our programming. I speak for all of my colleagues when I say we can’t wait to experience it all over again in 2014!
