Abstract for the conference program
STARBASE ROBINS is a part of the national Department of Defense premiere STEM education STARBASE Program. DoD STARBASE offers a positive, proven approach to engendering excitement and interest in STEM. This knowledge is important to our nation’s future because during this decade, employment in STEM occupations is expected to increase at almost four times the rate for all occupations. STARBASE ROBINS focuses its efforts on the STEM pipeline with fifth grade students and middle school students from its partnering school districts. This panel will focus on how the STARBASE ROBINS 5th grade program and STARBASE 2.0 Afterschool STEM Mentoring Program at the middle school level helps in meeting the national need for students to be STEM literate and skill proficient along with meeting the needs of the school administrators and teachers in enhancing their STEM curriculum.
