STARBASE Advanced programs combine science, technology, engineering, art/design, and mathematics (STEAM) activities with a relationship-rich, school-based afterschool environment to provide the missing link for youth making the transition from elementary to middle and on to high school. It extends the positive impact of STARBASE through an afterschool STEAM coaching approach which solidifies students' attachment to and engagement with school.
The STARBASE Advanced program operates through partnerships with STARBASE, local public and private school districts, and community and military volunteers.
