New school year, new staff photo. This year we have a few new faces. We look forward to introducing them soon!
STARBASE Hill kicked off the 2021-2022 school year by hosting St. Joseph's Catholic Elementary. They spent five full days of fun with STEM engaged in subjects like Physics, Chemistry and Robotics. Starting the year with such a great school really got us STEMming it up and ready for an outstanding year! We look forward to all the schools coming out this year to STARBASE Hill and those we will be visiting for our 2.0 program!
Davis School District put together this video on the different programs that we do here at STARBASE Hill.
Watch it and see what amazing things we get to do and the awesome kids we get to interact with.

STARBASE 2.0 is designed to provide an exciting, school-based STEM program for students to collaborate with peers and mentors in immersive STEM activities and solidify students’ attachment to and engagement with school. STARBASE 2.0 ignites students’ passion for innovative STEM investigations and solutions opening the door for future STEM endeavors in college and career fields.
Beginning 2.0 students engage in STEM explorations and activities that establish a concept base for future engineering activities. Topics include: engineering design process, friction, drag, aerodynamics, Newton’s laws, and center of mass. The program will culminate in an engineering design challenge and competition amongst their peers, requiring students to use CAD software and simulations to design and build a balsa wood CO2 powered car.
Burch Creek, Municipal, Quest Academy, Washington Terrace and Syracuse Elementary schools took part in the CO2 race. All the students that participated did a great job!
Burch Creek Elementary- Matthew Butt- 1st place
Municipal Elementary- Lukas H.- 2nd place
Quest Academy- Kairi Drake- 3rd place
Washington Terrace Elementary- Sonya Bennion- 4th place
Syracuse Elementary- Carson Butcher- 5th place
We hope that you enjoy watching the finalists and their race!
