Lockheed Martin has released an academic version of its virtual simulation software for students.
The Bethesda, Md.-based company said Monday that Prepar3d provides users with problem solving situations through virtual training.
According to the company, virtual environments can range from underwater to suborbital space.
Those environments also can include real-life elements like vehicles, people, wildlife and buildings, the company said.
The National Flight Academy and the Experimental Aircraft Association use Prepar3 to assist with science, technology, engineering, and math education.
Customers in the academic community can purchase the software for $49.99 per copy.
The company donated $20,000 to New Jersey-based Mount Laurel Schools in February to support STEM education.
