“Science is my favorite subject and STARBASE helped my love for science flourish.” LIAM HOOPS, STUDENT AT STURGIS INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, ATTENDING STARBASE NOVA HONOR

“I didn’t think school could be this much fun!” CARL COATS, STUDENT AT NEW UNDERWOOD ELEMENTARY, ATTENDING STARBASE NOVA HONOR

“I loved STARBASE! It made me realize that you shouldn’t judge anything by the way it sounds if you haven't tried it, because it might turn out to be more fun than what you expected. I also learned new things and got to do stuff that I didn't think I would get to do. I never imagined that I could accomplish what I did at STARBASE. I think STARBASE is the best and most exciting place to be at. If I grew up and was successful, and STARBASE was still running, I would sponsor and provide money so they could get more items, so that future kids who come to STARBASE would experience what I got to. DREAM IT, ACHIEVE IT/ STARBASE FOREVER!!!!!!-SHINY SIZZLER, STUDENT AT CANYON LAKE ELEMENTARY, ATTENDING STARBASE RAPID CITY

“I don't really consider STARBASE all that challenging, but I suppose that the hardest part was being patient because of all the fun stuff happening around me. I had an amazing experience! It was fun but educational at the same time! And my mom is very proud of me that I have learned so much in the five days that we were there. And I feel more interested in STEM than I ever have before in my life! All thanks to STARBASE!”- DAYTONA WARREN, STUDENT AT VANDENBERG ELEMENTARY, ATTENDING STARBASE RAPID CITY

“Thank you so much for bringing this experience to our students in Buffalo. We truly appreciate it!” JOSH PAIGE, SUPERINTENDENT, BUFFALO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PARTNER WITH STARBASE NOVA HONOR

“This was my first year coming to STARBASE, and I absolutely loved it. I think it was fun and a great hands on approach to science that in the classroom we often run out of time to do. I have had multiple students tell me how excited they were to go to STARBASE and how much fun they had. You guys did awesome at accommodating and making adjustments to help give each student the best possible chance to be successful!” –KATIE STROHSCHEIN, EDUCATOR AT RAPID VALLEY ELEMENTARY, ATTENDING STARBASE RAPID CITY

“The program was amazing. My son has been waiting to become of age to try the program. My son’s favorite part of the program was the aviation. My favorite part was watching all the kids shoot the rockets off that they built. I think the program is a great opportunity for students to get creative that they may not get at a school. Definitely a program that should be sustained!”—SSG DEIDRE ROSS, DEFENSE MOVEMENT SPECIALIST

“Both of our kids loved this program! They learned a lot and came home glowing each day. They wished it would have lasted longer!” CAPTAIN, BRADY WOLFE, WHOLISTIC HEALTH AND FITNESS PROJECT OFFICER, STARBASE RAPID CITY
