The Honorable Dennis M. McCarthy, Former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs

"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.

"In addition to its challenging STEM curriculum, the program is exposing students  to positive role models within the military services. This facet of DoD STARBASE, and the support it receives from senior military leadership, are key to student success."

Chris Oram, Ed.D. Superintendent of the National School District, National City, CA

"I have been a teacher and administrator in our district for more than 30 years.  In my many years in the district I would be hard-pressed to think of a more valuable and effective program than STARBASE-Atlantis.

We have been working with the STARBASE program for the past 10 years.  During that time, this expeience has become one of the highlights of the year for our fifth graders.  This program has provided our students access to an exciting hands-on learning experience that supports the development of science and math concepts in an extremely stimulating and motivating environment.  The opportunity to go on the naval base and interact with military personnel is an experience that our students never forget."

"STARBASE has designed a program the keeps students fully engaged every minute.  At STARBASE students have a really tough time containing their enthusiasm and are asking 'what if' questions while bouncing out of their seats, a true sign of engagement that leads to learning." (Teacher, Rutland VT)

"STARBASE turns the students on to science! It lights the science fire for many students.  We would attend STARBASE even if it were in Dallas! It has helped to complete and solidify our own science instruction." (Principal, Barksdale LA)

"STARBASE was awesome! My favorite part was when we shot off rockets and learned about nanometers. It blew me away what you can do with just water and Alka-Seltzer plus how small a nanometer is. It took me out of this world." (Student, Lincoln NE)

"It's like magic meets science." (Student, Martinsburg WV)

"This is a wonderful program provided in a state-of-the-art facility, and an amazing testament to tax dollars at work. My kids enjoyed the experience immensely and I was extremely impressed with the curriculum, materials, and teacher. Making math, science, physics, chemistry and technology fun and exciting to kids is something that will carry over a lifetime. Please continue this wonderful program." (Parent, Selfridge MI)

" The STARBASE program has a positive impact on our youth. We provide an alternative source of information for them that is both unique and inspiring. It is an honor to support a program that impacts the next generation." 

"I believe the program has a huge impact on the local school populations, not only in math and science, but also in giving a favorable impression of the military."
