Portrait of Dr. Lisa Starr

Dr. Lisa Reid Starr believes every child has a spark — a moment when a concept clicks, a project comes to life, and confidence takes hold. She has spent more than 30 years helping students find that spark.

She currently teaches STEM from Pre-K through grade 12 at a private school in Prince William County, Virginia. She founded Starr STEM Club to help children develop curiosity, creativity, confidence, leadership, and real-world problem-solving skills through hands-on activities.

Her programs feature rocket launches, robotics, coding, engineering challenges, science experiments, environmental projects, data science, and STEM showcases — all designed to make STEM approachable, creative, and exciting.
