On January 7, 2026, the Department of War marked the 20th anniversary of STARBASE Arizona, a STEM education program at Davis‑Monthan Air Force Base. The event honored two decades of hands‑on, 25‑hour STEAM instruction offered to students in the Tucson area. Attendees included leaders from the 355th Force Support Squadron, school district officials, and state representatives. Participants watched a live STARBASE STEAM class before the ceremony. Director Kristine Impellizzeri praised the base’s long‑standing support and the program’s role in connecting students with science, technology, engineering, arts, and math concepts through interaction with military personnel and community experts. STARBASE Arizona began in 2006 and continues to serve local school districts.
