The STARBASE Savannah team is actively building and collaborating on base and community STEM partnerships with participating in STEM outreach events.
STARBASE Savannah first launched in 2012 as a partnership between the Third Infantry Division and Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield with the Savannah-Chatham County School System, the STARBASE Savannah Foundation and Gulfstream to open the first-ever STARBASE Academy on an active-Army installation.
STARBASE Savannah provides fifth graders with one week of 20-25 hours of "hands-on, mind-on" activities in science, technology, engineering and math, using a common core curriculum that meets or exceeds national standards. The students interact with military personnel to explore careers and observe the subject applications in the real world.
