Round Three of Camp Highlights at Will Rogers Air National Guard Base ✈️🔬
We’re back with Round Three and this one is packed with some of the most hands-on STEAM moments of the entire camp.
From ELEPHANT TOOTHPASTE erupting with excitement 🧪 to students bringing their creativity to life through line art that evolved into coding, this camp has been all about turning ideas into real-world discovery. We also watched our cadets design and build solar cars ☀️🚗 and then take them outside to test, refine, and see their engineering in action.
This is the part we love most, seeing concepts move from “I think I can” to “I just did that.”
And we’re still not done.
Graduation photos from the final day of camp are coming soon, along with a full video compilation of our time together. So while this is another highlight drop, it’s definitely not the final one, there’s still so much more fun, growth, and chaos (the good kind) to share.
Stay tuned 🚀

Round Two of Camp Highlights at Will Rogers Air National Guard Base ✈️
What. A. WEEK.
STARBASE OKC is back with Round Two of camp highlights and this one came in HOT with STEAM energy, curiosity, and nonstop hands-on learning. From the moment the kids stepped onto base, they were in full mission mode designing, building, testing, and discovering like real engineers and scientists in training.
We’re talking drone flights, robotics challenges, explosive (safe 😄) STEAM experiments, and problem-solving that had students thinking bigger than ever. Watching them collaborate, fail forward, and then try again is exactly what STEAM is all about real learning in real time.
The energy was high, the questions were nonstop, and the creativity? Unmatched.
And honestly… we had to cool our jets before posting because this week was a LOT in the best and most exhausting way. But these moments deserve their spotlight.
More camp highlights coming soon because this is just Round Two. 🚀

**Day 4** with **Military Week Camp** at **STARBASE Tulsa** 🚀
🧫 Tiny Worlds with Big Discoveries: Campers were able to check out the growth of their mysterious bacterial and fungi collections from their first day at camp.
💥🧰 Campers once again tested their construction and design skills with R2K water rocket launches and building bascule and suspension hybrid bridges with Sphero Blueprint kits.
🎈Today was our last day with our military group and we're sure going to miss seeing these families. It was a special pleasure to enable an enriching summer camp experience to these children and help create friendships that'll continue to grow outside of these gates. We hope you all enjoy an amazing summer! ☀️
