Our BOTTLABS are open to club membership for the purpose of ‘Building Opportunity Through Technology’. The Star program provides not only incentive for members, but a ranking scale which indicates, at a glance, the member's skill set and experience regarding the use of technology.

To help: evaluate members as they enter the BOTTLAB, we have implemented a program indicating their level of experience with regard to computers. This is a five-color system utilizing Star-shape decals. These are affixed to the membership card and additionally each member’s star status is entered into the member database as a permanent record.

The stars program is a five-tiered ranking system intended to simplify understanding of the child’s capabilities and technological understanding and skill-set.
