STARBASE's Advanced Program combines STEAM activities with a relationship-rich, school-based afterschool environment to provide the missing link for youth making the transition from elementary to middle and on to high school. It extends the positive impact of STARBASE through an afterschool STEAM mentoring approach which solidifies students’ attachment to and engagement with school. The Winchester STARBASE Academy currently runs an Advanced Program at James Wood Middle School with Frederick County Public Schools. Our mission has been to teach students the fundamentals of robotics programming, circuitry, and teamwork during the fall semester.
