Welcome to the
Evergreen STARBASE

A Washington National Guard Youth Program

STARBASE is a Department of Defense funded youth program designed to enhance the understanding and appreciation of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The curriculum is taught by certified instructors who use hands-on activities and state of the art technology to educate mainly 5th grade students. The Washington Air National Guard was recently chosen to host a STARBASE program and named their chapter "Evergreen STARBASE."

As part of the DoD curriculum, STARBASE students use a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program where they are designing a "Land Rover". CAD uses Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to be challenged here.

In Pursuit of Excellence and Leadership Through Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

Classes are five days in duration and are conducted in partnership with local school districts. They integrate dynamic learning experiences with the exploration of STEM related careers. Emphasizing the value of education and goal-setting are also key components of the program.

Students learn:Students are waiting to launch their "Eggbert" shuttle to see how their engineering seatbelt constraint works. Will Eggbert be Scrambled? This week's camp, children of military families, wait anxiously to find out!
