Sen. Pat Roberts’ office Wednesday announced $240,000 was awarded to Kansas STARBASE by the Department of Defense to promote math and science skills to youth.
The STARBASE program, which has an academy in Salina, is operated by the Kansas National Guard.
Instructors work with at-risk students at the fourth- through sixth-grades, helping them learn math, science and technology skills. STARBASE also has academies in Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita.
