STARBASE KC welcomed Stony Point North as our first school for the FY27 school year. Pictured are students engaging in chemistry careers using Happy Atoms and using engineering skills to save Sir Eggbert as he lands within the castle’s walls. Not pictured was the exploration of Physics careers making predictions using Newton’s laws with straw rockets and learning design using Corel Draw and the laser engraver. Truly a fun day for all!

Day 4 marked an exciting finish to Young Engineers Summer Camp at STARBASE!

Campers put their engineering skills on full display as they launched the rockets they built, raced balloon-powered cars, and programmed LEGO SPIKE robots for an action-packed battle bot-style competition.

We loved seeing campers take on new challenges and grow their STEM skills every day!

Day 1 of Young Engineers Summer Camp is in the books, and what a great start it was!

Campers put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work as they:
🚀 Designed custom rocket fins using CAD software
🛩️ Tested and improved hoop glider designs for flight performance
🪂 Engineered parachutes and put them to the test with a balcony drop challenge, aiming for a precise landing zone

From designing and building to testing and improving, our young engineers jumped right into the engineering design process!

Day 4 wrapped up DROBOTS camp with an action-packed finale!

Campers

🚀launched the rockets they designed and built,
🏞️experienced a drone flight using VR goggles,
✈️sharpened their aviation skills in flight simulators,
🤖programmed LEGO SPIKE robots for sumo competitions.

What an incredible week of innovation, teamwork, and discovery!

Day 2 of DROBOTS was full of action, creativity, and engineering challenges!

Campers spent the day sharpening their STEM skills:

• Battled it out on the field with Sphero soccer
• Built rockets
• Piloted drones through an obstacle course
• Sent Eggbert on a test flight to evaluate the effectiveness of their custom safety restraint systems

Whether they were building, flying, coding, or testing, campers embraced every challenge with curiosity and teamwork!
