STARBASE Hill opened its doors to students from Davis School District in September 2011. Since then, more than 25,000 students have had the opportunity of experiencing STARBASE Hill and its hands-on, minds-on approach to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)! Peruse this site to see some of the fun-filled happenings at STARBASE Hill or check out our "Resources, Videos and More" page to see other great STEM opportunities. We have found cool science web sites, virtual field trips and more!
STARBASE HILL WILL REOPEN FOR THE 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR
After five and a half months of closure, STARBASE Hill received the word to reopen for the 2025-2026 school year. This extremely difficult time encompassed the layoff of the entire STARBASE Hill staff and the sessions cancellation of more than 1000 students who were scheduled to participate in this highly sought after STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) program. This included the popular, free Summer camps as the entire 16 person staff was laid-off. STARBASE Hill uses an inquiry-based approach to educate and enthuse students in the many STEAM opportunities and careers. STARBASE Hill wishes to thank all of you who bombarded our Utah Senators office expressing your positive thoughts concerning the program and the need for it to continue. Similar to the support you and Rep. Blake Moore's office have pledged, all the way up to Washington D.C. , STARBASE Hill strives to gain something it has never had, backing from a Utah Senator. Please continue to let them know about the importance of STARBASE Hill in the Utah students' educational career. Unfortunately, our funding battle continues as STARBASE Hill will reopen as a two-classroom, instead of a three-classroom, operation. This means approximately 800 students will not have the opportunity of participating in the hands-on, minds-on program.
JUST LIKE THAT...
Hello all you STEAM enthusiasts and those who just want to see really cool things in the classroom!! STARBASE Hill will finally be coming back! We are due to open for the 2025-2026 school year. Please be patient as a lot needs to be done to get the program back up and running. However, I promise we will bring more excitement to each of our classes! Have a fun-filled and safe Summer! We look forward to seeing you later this year!
Take care,
BATMAN

"This program should be a no-brainer to support. I have a grandson who attended and loved the classes. He is now on scholarship at BYU having earned a 35 on his ACT testing. I can't say that the STEM classes caused that, but they certainly helped in stimulating his interest in learning! Please support this program for more of Utah's children, including more of my grandchildren."
