EducationCymer places a high value on the importance of a strong education and strives to better the educational programs made available to students throughout San Diego County.
This year Cymer hosted its 2nd Annual BE WiSE (Better Education for Women in Science and Engineering) program on behalf of the San Diego Science Alliance. Twenty-five 9th and 10th grade girls from a number of San Diego County schools attended the day long program. Cymer volunteers lead the students through various displays of engineering projects and technology demonstrations, followed by tours of the manufacturing and R&D facilities.
As one of many student scholarships, Cymer was proud to be able to support and present the High Tech Academic Achievement Scholarships in 2009. The joint event between the Classroom of the Future Foundation and the San Diego County Office of Education showcased programs that used unique learning practices in the most innovative and effective ways. In addition, deserving students looking to further their studies in the technology field, were rewarded for their strong passion while furthering their education.
