Code Quest? is Lockheed Martin’s annual computer programming competition where teams of two to three high school students work together to solve problems by using JAVA, Python, C#, and/or C++ programming to complete the “quest”. The problem set consists of 20 to 30 challenging problems created by Lockheed Martin engineers and computer programmers. Participants may be eligible for paid high school internships with Lockheed Martin!
CYBERQUEST??is Lockheed Martin's annual high school cyber competition held across numerous sites. The goal of the competition is to encourage high school students to pursue careers in cybersecurity. During the 3-hour competition, teams of students work together to solve cybersecurity challenges. CYBERQUEST??is a cloud-based competition that includes problems created by Lockheed Martin cybersecurity engineers. Participants may be eligible for paid high school internships with Lockheed Martin!
