MEET THE TEAM

Academy Director

MATT “BOLT” BELLINA

Matt Bellina was raised in South Bend attending McKinley and Edison School in the South Bend Community School Corporation. He received a BS in Education and MA in Corporate Wellness from Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. His STEM influences include the staff at STARBASE, family members and popular names such as Bill Nye the Science Guy and Steve Spangler. “I was lucky to have a father that allowed me to make safe-mistakes and creatively build in his laboratory.” As the youngest of 5 boys Matt learned quickly how to navigate group work. “It is important to know what you are good at, focus on that, and get out of the way of the others in the group (my brothers)”. In his free time Matt enjoys running, coaching youth soccer and volunteering in the community. As the Academy Director, I look forward to welcoming you to STARBASE Indiana, located in South Bend.
