"Jelly" 5th Grader

I'm always excited to bring my students to STARBASE. We have a lot of 5th graders this year who really struggle in the classroom, so I was excited to come here to see how well they would thrive in the STARBASE environment. STARBASE has an amazing way of engaging students with math and science, and it has been so fun as an educator to see my struggling learners engaged with high value curriculum.

Teacher, University Avenue Elemetary

I was inspired to learn about science and engineering because I was never really good at those two. I learned so much more in STARBASE about STEM in these 5 days than I would have learned in school in a month! I just wanted to tell how much of a difference you made in how I felt about STEM.

"Ella", 5th Grader

I’m good at STEM now. This was very fun. The week was the coolest! I wish I could do this again.

"Quoia", 5th Grader

They differentiated by engaging scholars directly in discussion about various topics, meeting them where they were at. Very well designed for all learners.

Teacher, Sojourner Truth Academy

This was WONDERFUL! I truly loved my experience. STARBASE Instructors made me excited about teaching science!

STEM Coordinator, Evergreen Park STEM School

I am inspired to learn more about space and Mars because on the first day I was not really excited and didn't want to learn about Mars, but once we got more into it, I go so interested and amazed.

"Vermillion", 5th Grader

I was very impressed that each day at STARBASE, the activities were engaging for the students, they were excited about the activities, and learned so much!

"Taylor", 5th Grader

I had a bunch of fun. It made me think I want to do more STEM jobs or some STEM projects now at school or home. This was for sure a field trip I won’t forget.

"Billy Jo", 5th Grader

Could not have asked for a better week. Students applied their new learning in meaningful ways. Science, math, technology all integrated seamlessly in great learning experiences.

Teacher, University Avenue Elementary

I learned a lot! Not just the content but also my students. I saw how they learn by being hands on, and that brought out some strengths I hadn't seen in some of my students before.

Teacher, Cannon Falls

I want to be a STARBASE Instructor when I grow up.

-"Owl", 5th Grader

With respect to science, this is the most engaged I have ever seen my students.

Teacher, Willow Lane

Students' ability to learn outside of the traditional classroom setting and curriculum is incredibly valuable. The equipment at STARBASE (Ozobots, rockets, AR/VR, 3D printers) aren't found in every school, so this enables students from all backgrounds to gain exposure to unique (and fun!) STEM equipment.

Parent

I learned so much at STARBASE, and I know I can do more.

"RDVFury", 5th Grader

STARBASE encouraged me to start coding again and STARBASE helped me get back into it.

-"Cheerleader", 5th Grader

My expectations would blown out of the water. They did a fantastic job. It taught me so much about my students abilities and skills I don't think I otherwise would have seen without this experience.

Teacher, Frost Lake

I am very happy and excited to learn more about STEM. It will change my life in ways I cannot imagine. My instructor has helped me to understand things in a different way and I am really happy about that. THANK YOU STARBASE!

"Star Berry", 5th Grader

STARBASE helped my students get excited for a potential future in STEM. My students are able to see their success at STARBASE and then feel more confident in their abilities in STEM. They have been exploring different careers and current events related to STEM outside of their time at STARBASE and are more excited to do STEM activities in the classroom!

Teacher, University Avenue Elementary

My students loved it, we had an ice storm that I thought could have prevent some students from attending. 100% attendance even on that day. That to me means that every student (and parent) wanted to be here. That is huge.

Teacher, Saint Andrews

The staff and curriculum are fantastic, the activities are really fun, and the students get to use a variety of software and technology that they aren't normally exposed to, like using different types of robots, playing around with CAD software, and building their own rockets.

Teacher, Emerson Elementary
