Join the Quest!
Code Quest® Academy and CYBERQUEST® Academy are free, accessible digital platforms designed to help students prepare for their respective competitions through practice programming and cybersecurity challenges.
Code Quest® Academy also offers a STEM outreach program, pairing Lockheed Martin volunteers with high school classrooms for virtual mentoring in coding and career development, supporting students as they prepare for the Code Quest competition.
Build your skills and share these resources with friends!
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!
Partner Organizations
We take great pride in the remarkable work of all our non-profit partners, and we're grateful to be able to support them in their efforts through the robust, long-standing partnerships that we have cultivated together.
Talk Techy
Did you know we use geometry to land a fighter jet, chemistry to create clean energy sources and biology to keep pilots safe in flight?
Watch our “Talk Techy” video series to see how Lockheed Martin engineers apply Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) concepts every day in surprising ways.
In each episode, experts will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how we use high school subjects to develop our most innovative technologies, like the Orion heat shield and next-generation sensor system.
