DoD STARBASE programs are located throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and recently, Guam. There are currently 4 STARBASE programs located in Texas: STARBASE Houston at Ellington Field, STARBASE Austin at Camp Mabry, STARBASE Kelly at Lackland AFB, and STARBASE Goodfellow located on Goodfellow AFB. Our program mainly serves 5th grade children during the academic year for a total of 25 hours of hands-on STEM learning. Our goal is for the students to come to STARBASE with open minds and leave full of knowledge and the passion to become lifelong learners. Our hope is to inspire excitement about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math when they begin middle school, high school, and even after graduation. We expose students to professionals in the STEM career field in hopes that the students will utilize that information as they navigate their future.
The STARBASE Goodfellow program is FREE. Students only need to bring a sack lunch when they attend, while School Districts need to provide transportation to and from STARBASE. We host 2 classes at the same time, with a minimum of 20 students and a maximum of 32 students in each class.
We are hoping to be able to reach out to all schools in San Angelo and the surrounding areas.
