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.

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!

Last Tuesday, we had an egg-tastic time with Ms. Bena’s 5th grade class from St. Philip Neri Catholic School for their Day 5 visit! 🥚✨
Students completed their final CAD project, explored the exciting world of nanotechnology, and worked together to determine the best materials and solutions for our underwater mission. To wrap up the day, they put their problem-solving and teamwork skills to the test while completing the challenge to save Captain EggBert! 🐣🔬🧫
This was such a fun, respectful, and highly engaged group of students. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Ms. Benas for the second year in a row with another amazing 5th grade class. Neri continues to bring students who are enthusiastic, curious, and ready to make STEAM come alive!
What made this visit even more special is that this was our LAST academy of the school year! 💙 What an incredible way to end the year with creativity, collaboration, and students excited about learning. Also. BIG THANK YOU to our parent volunteers that came all five days with them .
