About us
DoD STARBASE Oregon is run by the Oregon Military Department through a Department of Defense (DoD) cooperative agreement providing 100% Federal funding. It is a free 12-month, year-round educational program where students engage in up to 25 hours of challenging educational "hands-on, minds-on" inquiry-based activities in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Design, and Mathematics (STEAM). They also have an opportunity to explore careers and observe STEAM applications in the "real world" by interacting with STEAM professionals from their local communities.
DoD STARBASE Oregon Vision and Mission
