The Department of Defense initiative is a national educational program targeted primarily to at-risk fifth graders to motivate them to explore STEM as they continue their education. Students participate in 25 hours of challenging, “hands-on, minds-on” curriculum and activities in STEM, aviation and space exploration that meet or exceed national standards. Sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, STARBASE is conducted via academies located at National Guard, Navy, Marine, Air Force Reserve and Air Force bases across the nation.

The STEAM3 Collaborative is a partnership of three organizations—the Aldrin Family Foundation, Wingate University, and Union County Public Schools—committed to the significance of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM) to motivate, educate, nurture, and sustain our next generation of life-long learners, educators, explorers, scientists, engineers, artists, agribusiness professionals, healthcare providers, and technologists.
