STARBASE Robins is a Department of Defense educational program sponsored through a partnership with the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), the Museum of Aviation, and the Museum of Aviation Foundation.  STARBASE Robins offers a hands-on science/math based curriculum to at-risk 4th grade students from Houston, Bibb and Twiggs County schools. STARBASE Robins emphasizes the importance of goal-setting, teamwork and communication in everyday life.



Our "dreams + action = REALITY" formula for success stresses the need to remain in school while avoiding drugs and crime.  As a part of the Presidential Summit for America's Future, STARBASE Robins also requires each participating class to implement a service project in their school or community.STARBASE Robins is located at the Museum of Aviation, Century of Flight Hangar in Warner Robins, Georgia.



Their dream was to create a program which responded to the needs of youth through a curricula of goal setting skills and stimulating hands-on math and science activities, coupled with drug demand reduction.



The very first program was funded with a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, establishing a pilot program at Selfridge.  After a year of classes, Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, responding to a letter of support from Lieutenant General John Conway, Commander of the Air National Guard, sought the additional support from Georgia Senator Sam Nunn.    In the summer of 1992, Senators Levin and Nunn presented the STARBASE program to Congress for funding under the Department of Defense budget.  In October of the same year, President George H. Bush signed a bill into law making funding available for the next seven years.
