National Engineers Week: An inside look at L3Harris operations
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — L3Harris celebrated National Engineers Week on Friday at the Rochester Museum and Science Center.
Employees from the local defense technology company hosted engineering challenges and spoke with guests about careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Specifically, employees used simple mechanisms like Legos to show off the work done each day at L3Harris to young people.

'We try to reach out to kids at a young age because I think – the reality is we're trying to help instill and maybe grow their natural curiosity at that age. And hopefully it sticks with them and that they're going to grow into. So, I think sometimes as you start to do that you start to see more and more kids interested in STEM,' said Carolyn Cossavella with L3Harris.
L3Harris produces radios for the military and first responders, as well as imaging systems for NASA and private satellites.
