"The DoD STARBASE Program is truly a worthwhile endeavor. Through outreach and integrated educational programs, STARBASE is increasing interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among our nation's youth."
--The Honorable Dennis M. McCarthy, Former Assistance Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs |

To raise the interest and improve the knowledge and skills of at-risk youth in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, which will provide for a highly educated and skilled American workforce that can meet the advanced technological requirements of the Department of Defense.
|
|
By exposing youth to the technological environments and positive role models found on military bases and installations, we will provide 20-25 hours of exemplary instruction, using a common core curriculum that meets or exceeds the national standards. We will nurture a winning network of collaborators and build mutual loyalty. |
