At STARBASE students get hands-on time with coding and programming. Sometimes it is the first experience students have with robotics and it is the spark that leaves the student wanting more. If you are a parent or teacher looking for a way to get robotics started at your school, we have helpful user guides for getting started! Just select your robot type (NXT or EV3) to get started!

Teacher, University Avenue Elementary

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

-"Cheerleader", 5th Grader

I have never ever seen the kids more excited to learn about science.

Parent, Monroe Elementary

I hope every student will get to enjoy this experience just like I did.

-"Celestial", 5th Grader

I saw some students that struggle at school SHINE at STARBASE! The differentiation was commendable, I felt like this week was professional development for me!

Teacher, Birch Lake Elementary

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 find the blended use of technology for learning and engagement and the high energy of the staff are the most valuable aspects of STARBASE.

Teacher, Crossroads Elementary

It was inspiring to see the robots, knowing they were built by a person.

-"Jewel", 5th Grader

The AR we used was really life changing.

-"Dr. Strange", 5th Grader

I learned more STEM on the first day at STARBASE than I ever have before.

-"Aly", 5th Grader

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

Teacher, Willow Lane

This experience made the learning come alive for them!

Teacher, Willow Lane

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

-"Owl", 5th Grader

I liked giving commands to the robots and launching rockets! STARBASE was the best place I have ever been!

-"CR-7", 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

I would describe STARBASE as fun, engaging, and challenging. Many of our students were highly encouraged by the instructor to persevere in the high rigor of the curriculum.

Teacher, Birch Lake

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

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

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 is the best place I have ever been! If I could, I would stay here forever!

– "Mad-Dash", 5th Grader

My STARBASE instructor made math easy!

-"Snow", 5th Grader

STARBASE was really a once in a lifetime opportunity.

-"Marvel", 5th Grader

The hands on, project/experience based learning has been great and accessible for all the varied learners in my classroom regardless of their academic ability.

Teacher, Evergreen Park STEM School

My dream job includes STEM, so what I learned at STARBASE will help me in the future.

– "Books", 5th Grader

STARBASE taught me more about STEM and convinced me that I would like to have a career in STEM.

-"Char", 5th Grader

STARBASE made me more curious about science and want to do more creative things.
