What is STARBASE?
STARBASE Oklahoma connects students with real-world STEAM through inquiry-based lessons that spark curiosity and build confidence for future success. Our programs engage students with “hands-on, minds-on” activities—exploring Newton’s Laws, engineering design, robotics, chemistry, forms of energy, and computer modeling. Math is woven throughout the curriculum as students apply measurement, estimation, and problem-solving skills to real-world challenges.

Day 2 with Weatherford Public Schools was another great day at STARBASE Weatherford! ⭐️
Today, our two classes switched spaces, giving each group the chance to experience the other side of our STARBASE activities in the museum’s Flex Space and classroom!
Students continued learning through hands-on experiments, engineering challenges, problem-solving, teamwork, and STEM exploration.
We’re loving our time with East Intermediate and can’t wait to keep the STEM fun going!

The last group of Freedom began their journey through STARBASE today. The Eagles learned the EDP, what molecules are and how to build several. Their first exploration with the CAD program was a scavenger hunt. The final activities involved endothermic and exothermic reactions.

🚀Our Pratt Elementary 5th graders are having a BLAST during their five-day STEAM/STEM adventure! And Day 3 brought airplanes, rockets, circuits, creativity, and LOTS of hands-on learning! 🤩
✈️ 3…2…1…TAKEOFF! 🛩️
Today, our future aviators learned all about aircraft controls and different types of military aircraft. Then they got to unleash their imaginations and design their DREAM aircraft!
😎But wait…there’s more!
Students hoped onto a flight simulator and got to experience what it’s like to fly a Super Cub 18! 🎮🛩️ Who needs a runway when you have a simulator?!
🚀 STRAW ROCKETS = SCIENCE + MATH + A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!
Our young rocket scientists designed and launched straw rockets while collecting real data! 📊 Students measured the mass of their rockets, the force of each launch in newtons, and how far their rockets traveled.
⚡ BUILD IT. CONNECT IT. LIGHT IT UP! 💡🔌
Using Snap Circuits, students became electrical engineers for the day! They explored electrical circuits, conductivity, and energy flow while building their very own working creations.
