Round Three of Camp Highlights at Will Rogers Air National Guard Base ✈️🔬

We’re back with Round Three and this one is packed with some of the most hands-on STEAM moments of the entire camp.

From ELEPHANT TOOTHPASTE erupting with excitement 🧪 to students bringing their creativity to life through line art that evolved into coding, this camp has been all about turning ideas into real-world discovery. We also watched our cadets design and build solar cars ☀️🚗 and then take them outside to test, refine, and see their engineering in action.

This is the part we love most, seeing concepts move from “I think I can” to “I just did that.”

And we’re still not done.

Graduation photos from the final day of camp are coming soon, along with a full video compilation of our time together. So while this is another highlight drop, it’s definitely not the final one, there’s still so much more fun, growth, and chaos (the good kind) to share.

Stay tuned 🚀

Round Two of Camp Highlights at Will Rogers Air National Guard Base ✈️

What. A. WEEK.

STARBASE OKC is back with Round Two of camp highlights and this one came in HOT with STEAM energy, curiosity, and nonstop hands-on learning. From the moment the kids stepped onto base, they were in full mission mode designing, building, testing, and discovering like real engineers and scientists in training.

We’re talking drone flights, robotics challenges, explosive (safe 😄) STEAM experiments, and problem-solving that had students thinking bigger than ever. Watching them collaborate, fail forward, and then try again is exactly what STEAM is all about real learning in real time.

The energy was high, the questions were nonstop, and the creativity? Unmatched.

And honestly… we had to cool our jets before posting because this week was a LOT in the best and most exhausting way. But these moments deserve their spotlight.

More camp highlights coming soon because this is just Round Two. 🚀

We’ve been having the BEST time at STARBASE OKC Camp 2 at Will Rogers Air National Guard Base in Oklahoma City!! ✈️💙✨

This special camp has been such an incredible experience for our students as we travel and learn together in a hands-on STEAM environment. Every day has been filled with excitement, curiosity, and so many “wow” moments 🤩

From elephant toothpaste exploding with science 🧪💥, to painting with robots 🤖🎨, to flying drones in the sky 🚁, our campers have been fully immersed in creativity, discovery, and teamwork!

Watching them learn, laugh, and light up with confidence has truly been the highlight of it all 💛

This is just round one of highlights… more memories coming soon!! 🌟📸
