🦅 DAY 2: The Salk Eagles were cleared for takeoff! 🚀
What happens when you mix science, coding, robotics, engineering, and a whole lot of curiosity? You get one EPIC day at STARBASE Tulsa! 🌟
Our 5th-grade cadets were busy building, coding, designing, experimenting, testing, and solving challenges—just like real STEAM professionals do! And yes… there was plenty of fun along the way! 😎
🧪🔥❄️ Double Bubble Trouble!
Things got HOT… and then they got COLD! 🥶 Students investigated chemical reactions that release heat and reactions that absorb heat. Science isn't just something you read about—it’s something you can SEE, FEEL, and experience!
💻🧩 3D CAD Design
Dream it. Design it. Build it! Students stepped into the world of 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and learned how engineers use technology to turn ideas into real designs.
🤖💡 Code + Sphero BOLT
Can you make a robot do what YOU want it to do? 🤔 Our cadets wrote code, tested their programs, found mistakes, troubleshot their code, and tried again until their Sphero BOLT robots brought their ideas to life!
🚛🏗️ Robotics Challenge: BUILD A DUMP TRUCK!
Ready… SET… BUILD! Students became engineers for the day, designing and creating their own robotic dump trucks. They used creativity, teamwork, engineering, and problem-solving to tackle the challenge.
And the best part? They discovered something important:
✨ Engineers don't always get it right the first time. They test, troubleshoot, redesign, and try again!
🦅 Big questions. Bold ideas. Creative minds. Tiny engineers. HUGE possibilities!
Salk Eagles, you’re definitely FLYING HIGH! 🚀🦅
