DOD STARBASE’s primary focus is to motivate fifth graders to explore STEM opportunities as they continue their education. The program follows an inquiry-based curriculum that involves experiential activities to engage students. These activities are designed to encourage active participation and critical thinking, so they are often called "hands-on, minds-on" activities.

A STARBASE program at Cannon Air Force Base would foster a successful collaboration between local area schools and military community -- and provide opportunities for local students to access base more frequently.
