Starbase Oklahoma, Fort Sill

Fort Sill's Own Freedom Elementary attended summer camp with STARBASE Fort Sill. These students didn't get to attend during the school year, so everything was new for them. The students learned STEAM subjects, including measurement in meters down to nanometers. The measurement was applied using straw rockets. Students learned coding with Lego robots and electronics with LittleBits. The study of rockets was continued using Estes rockets and astronaut landing was studied using Eggbert.

The Fort Sill Homeschool students who attended STARBASE Fort Sill in April returned to a summer camp this week. Several new events were introduced and a couple of tried-and-true events were included. These events included water bottle rockets, Sphero jousting, Sphero Jolly Rancher chariots, water testing boats, Estes rockets, eggbert, and battle bots.

To finish the regular school year, STARBASE Fort Sill hosted Bray-Doyle. A small group of students with teachers very involved in their education. Everything the students did, the teachers did as well. STEAM learning with competition between students and teachers!!

The Marlow Outlaws finished their STARBASE 2.0 in a very strong way by launching their personalized rockets. The weather was warm and windy for lift off, so the football field was necessary to contain lift off and touch down. An amazing group of students dedicated to their STEAM studies!

STARBASE Fort Sill welcomed the Pioneer Park Panthers from Lawton Public Schools this week. The Panthers came in forty-six students strong, filling two classrooms. The two classes were very competitive from the start.

Today marked the final day of STARBASE Advanced at MacArthur Middle School! It’s been an incredible inaugural year for our MMS students, and they wrapped up the semester in the best way possible—by launching the rockets they just finished building.

Most of the rockets soared successfully into the sky, though a couple experienced what we like to call an “unscheduled rapid disassembly” 😄

A big thank you to Chief for making this experience both fun and meaningful for the MMS students. What a great way to end the program!

Plato Elementary, with Duncan Public Schools, completed its tour with STARBASE Fort Sill. Two large groups of students enjoyed five days of STEAM training, shared experiments, goofy times and much fun!!

Big Pasture completed their five days with STARBASE. A wonderful group of students from a small town of down-home people. The group arrived early and stayed the duration to get the full experience of STEAM training with STARBASE.
