It's out of this world!
At STARBASE-Battle Creek, we enhance student learning through our unique style of hands-on STEAM based activities.
About
STARBASE offers 5th grade students an inspiring way to learn about science, technology, engineering, art and design, and math through an exciting, hands-on curriculum. Over the course of their 5-day, 25-hour experience, students will engage in motivational activities, which are best described as “hands-on, minds-on." These activities include:
-
Creating 3D models using our CAD program OnShape
-
Programming robots to navigate an obstacle course, teach math concepts, and create visual graphs.
-
Exploring Newton's Laws of Motion through rocketry
-
Conducting various engineering design activities through real-world applications.
The STARBASE program is a Department of Defense community outreach program that has been a proven leader in introducing STEAM concepts for over 34 years. STARBASE carefully designs its curriculum to meet national educational standards. STARBASE encourages students to set goals, shows them how to achieve them, and uses positive role models to increase confidence in their abilities.
