The event coincided with the National Manufacturing Week.
Ingrid Vaughan, vice president of manufacturing at Northrop Grumman, said the company will hold similar events in 12 locations across the country, including California, Chicago and Virginia.
\"This is an opportunity to showcase manufacturing as a career for our STEM students,\" Vaughan said . \".
