RSVA (Retirees School Volunteers Association) presents a unique opportunity for Raytheon retirees to use their many years of engineering experience to add significant value to the STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education process as the next generation of students meet the challenges they will face. Innovation in technology, critical thinking and creative problem solving are all skills that we have learned and practiced in our careers at Raytheon. What better way to spend your retirement than reinforcing these skills for today’s students.. We in RSVA do this by aiding teachers in the classroom, helping with labs and demos, mentoring after school science, math and robotics clubs, participating in curriculum development, and many other activities. Hours are flexible and tailored to each task. Our annual meeting will be held at Raytheon Global Headquarters, Waltham MA in the Amphitheater on November 16, 2011 from 1:30 PM-4:00PM, with several guest speakers in the STEM education field giving presentations of ongoing and future efforts. All retirees are invited to attend by responding to the RSVA contact listed below.
