This is a non discretionary award. 1. STARBASE 2.0 is an afterschool, middle and high school mentoring initiative conducted in partnership with local school districts that combines STEM activities with a relationship-rich, school-based environment to provide the missing link for youth making the transition from elementary to middle school, and from middle to high school. STEM clubs are expected to meet no less than four hours per month, for a minimum of 20 hours per school year. 2. STARBASE 3.0 provides extracurricular STEM instruction and projects to high school students and is typically offered after school or during the summer. The program is highly structured and helps support school goals, fosters ingenuity and creativity, builds confidence and resilience, encourages experimentation and teamwork, and teaches students how to solve problems using critical thinking skills to improve knowledge and skills of students from kindergarten through twelfth grade in STEM. 3. The Program is a non-combat, civil-military activity of the National Guard
