STARBASE Nebraska was selected by the Department of Defense as one of five (of the 60 nationwide) STARBASE academies to host a STARBASE 2.0 middle school mentoring pilot program. The pilot is being held at Culler Middle School. Thirty five youth participate in teams of 2-3 students guided by an adult mentor. Mentors share their love of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) with 6-8th grade students, as well as lead them in activities that promote positive life skills (goal setting, team building, organizational, etc.). We are partnering with Lincoln Public Schools, Culler Middle School and Community Learning Center, Lincoln CLC Initiative, Clyde Malone Community Center, UNL Engineering College, NASA Nebraska, and our primary partners: Nebraska National Guard, STARBASE Nebraska Inc., and DoD STARBASE.
