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 1 with the Pirates of **Porter Elementary**!! It was a fun day at STARBASE Tulsa with this great group of students! The STEAM excitement is just getting started with this group!🚀
💧 Liquid Volume Experiments: Students measured, compared, and learned how fluids behave in different scenarios. Exploring measurement, experimentation, and teamwork in a fun, interactive challenge.
🌬️ Bernoulli’s Principle: Demonstrations showed how air pressure and flow can lift objects and power designs — physics in action!
⚖️ Density Exploration: Students tested how different mystery liquids either floated or sank, discovering how salinity concentrations can be pretty cool and fun.
🥚Engineering Design Principles: Students were able to created a landing pod for their Eggbert or Eggbertas and attempt to create a safe and survivable controlled aerial descent.
We can't wait to see them again next week! ☀

The Woodland Hills Woodsmen finished their five days today. The always-fun Eggbert activity kicked off the day. It presented a delicate task of designing a restraint system for the students' Eggberts. They then tested the system to see whether the Eggbert would survive a crash landing of their Space Shuttle. Six of the eleven groups that launched, plus a teacher, survived. The day ended with a study of the coordinate plane and graduation.

Day 5 with East Intermediate 🦅What an incredible way to wrap up the week!
Our students explored nanotechnology, designed their OWN space stations in TinkerCAD, celebrated graduation, and learned about future careers!
What a huge honor to have SWOSU Pharmacy join us in full force! 💙 Their team led hands-on activities where students explored jumping in “space”, played a giant Operation game, measured their pulse with medical equipment, and learned about communication and grip strength. Southwestern Oklahoma State University College of Pharmacy
So much STEM, hands-on learning, and fun all in one day! Thank you to Swosu Pharmacy for making the day extra special!
