STARBASE Connecticut About

STARBASE CT is always looking to connect with new partners to enhance the STEM experience of CT Youth

STARBASE is a five day STEM-based academy in which students collaborate to explore various fields of science and mathematics. The students use the Scientific Method to conduct experiments in chemistry and physics, make observations, and analyze data through graphing and comparison to draw conclusions about the world in which they live. They also make use of technology in the form of a high profile CAD program & 3-D printing. Students are challenged to utilize the knowledge they gain to engineer unique solutions to real world issues.

STARBASE CT offers week long programs (25 hours) available for groups up to 25. The curriculum is designed to help students explore the STEM fields in a hands-on way. Activities include engineering challenges, chemistry experiments, learning about Newton’s Laws of Motion, programming robots, using CAD (computer aided drafting program) to design vehicles, an International Space Station (ISS) and a model of the science lab from the ISS. Students print their models on 3D printers to take home. The program is geared to state and federal science standards and is free.
