About STARBASE ROBINS: STARBASE ROBINS is a Department of Defense premiere STEM educational program located at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, GA. Our purpose is to broaden the interest of students in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Our year-long program focuses on at-risk fifth-grade students concentrating on the basics of aviation and space exploration with hands-on learning activities. For the last twenty-five years, STARBASE ROBINS has enhanced and supplemented STEM education in the Middle Georgia area. During the past few summers, STARBASE ROBINS has offered several summer academies using the Lego Mindstorms/EV3 Robotics kits. We offered these academies to see students enhance their interest in problem-solving and engineering techniques. STARBASE ROBINS is sponsored by the Air Force Reserve Command.
