Our goal for the sponsorship program is to provide students with the ability to gain real-world experience and elaborate on creative and innovative design skills utilizing our best-in-class navigation sensors. The Sparton Navigation & Exploration (NavEx) sponsorship program is designed to give entrants the opportunity to utilize our products for various student projects such as senior design projects, industry-related competitions, test platforms and any other Sparton approved application.
