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.

A special piece of StarBase Oklahoma City history has found its way home. ✈️💙
Recently, we were gifted a historic plaque commemorating the longstanding partnership between StarBase Oklahoma City and the Will Rogers Air National Guard Base. This plaque represents an important chapter in our program’s history and serves as a reminder of the partnerships that have helped shape our mission through the years.
Before StarBase Oklahoma City had a permanent home, our team traveled between locations, bringing hands-on STEAM education to students across our community. Today, as we continue that mission in our own dedicated facility, we are honored to display this plaque as a symbol of our history, growth, and commitment to inspiring future generations.
We are grateful for the support, partnerships, and people who have helped make StarBase Oklahoma City what it is today. Here’s to celebrating our past while continuing to build an exciting future. 🚀✨
