Northrop Grumman Space Technology in Redondo Beach hosted local middle and high school students Thursday for National Engineers Week. The students participated in an interactive robotics demonstration. Earlier in the week, some students teamed with Northrop engineers to build satellite models out of cans. Northrop is helping sponsor National Engineers Week 2008, an effort by 75 engineering, professional and technical societies and more than 50 corporations and government agencies to excite grade-school students about careers in math and science.
