STARBASE Hill offers a positive, proven approach to engendering excitement and interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).  Why does STARBASE make sense for your child, your child's future and the future of this country?  Delve into some of these responses.

- Our hands-on, mind-on approach to STEM encourages learning through the myriad of attitudes brought by students to the classroom.

- Our safe learning environment enhances STEM enthusiasm within each student.

- During this decade, employment in science and engineering occupations is expected to increase at almost four times the rate for all occupations.

- In 2015, just 40% of U.S. 4th graders were rated at or above proficient in a national mathematics assessment (NAEP) and more than 1 in 10 scored below the basic level.

- Only 42% of U.S. high school graduates in 2015 met the ACT College Readiness Benchmark in mathematics and 36% in science.
​
- The rapid pace of technological change, and globalization of the economy, simply demands that our workforce be literate in science and math.

- Less than 1% of current elementary school students will seek advanced education in the sciences.

- An over-reliance on the math and science talent of foreign students represents a major potential weakness in the future competitiveness and vitality of the U.S. economy and workforce.
