Starbase South Bend A DoD supported STEAM program providing education and career exploration via class visits, after-school clubs and summer camps.
(1)

STARBASE focuses on elementary students, primarily fifth graders. The goal is to motivate them to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) as they continue their education. The academies serve students that are historically under-represented in STEM. Students who live in inner cities or rural locations, those who are socio-economically disadvantaged, low in academic performance or have a disability are in the target group; however, STARBASE Indiana seeks to bring STEM programming to all available students. A local teacher whose class attended STARBASE-South Bend stated, "STARBASE teaches science and math in ways that we wish we had the time, resources and expertise to do in the regular classroom. It's experiential, exploratory learning with a direct tie to the standards."

Thank you for your educational partnership. We are thrilled to have your teachers and 5th graders attending all 25 hrs.

“Vine Robots” let’s check them out.

What if a robot could grow its way into places people can’t safely reach?

Notre Dame researchers are developing vine robots inspired by the way plants grow. These flexible robots can navigate tight, complex spaces, potentially helping responders more safely search collapsed buildings, navigate disaster zones and operate in other dangerous environments: https://go.nd.edu/FFRoboticSearchandRescue
