The facilities have recently been upgraded, and the Grand Reopening event will be held on Oct. 18, 2010, at the STARBASE facility to celebrate and showcase the benefits of STARBASE and its history of support from the educational, military, and corporate communities, and its proven track record of raised student performance and increased interest in S.T.E.M. subjects.
