STARBASE PROGRAM
The STARBASE Program
http://www.ngb.dtic.mil/staff/youth/starbase/ serves
students and teachers by providing exciting hands-on learning
experiences combining personal development, teambuilding and
hands-on enrichment in science, math, and technology. Our Vision
is to teach students strategies needed to achieve their dreams
and become responsible members of society.
STARBASE, a program for youth ages 6 through 18,
is aimed at improving math and science skills. The program
starts at the elementary school level in order to attract and
prepare students at an early age for careers in engineering and
other science-related fields of study.
The program principally exposes at-risk children
and their teachers to real world applications of math and
science through experiential learning, simulations, and
experiments in aviation and space-related fields. The program
also addresses drug use prevention, health, self-esteem and life
skills within a math- and science-based program. A map of
current participating STARBASE states can be found at
