STARBASE Kansas City

STARBASE Kansas City To improve student comprehension in math, engineering, science and technology. Kansas STARBASE is the U.S.

Department of Defense’s award winning science, technology, engineering and math youth program. The program is located in five Kansas cities: Wichita, Topeka, Salina, Kansas City and Manhattan. It has worked with over 52,000 Kansas’ children either directly or indirectly by improving their interest in the areas of math, engineering, science or technology as well as instilling a sense of pride and p

ersonal accomplishment. It is those traits by which STARBASE will increase the number of students going into math, engineering, science and technology areas once they have completed their secondary education.

Day 4 marked the exciting finale of our first DROBOTS camp.

Campers watched their hard work take flight as they launched the rockets they built, explored virtual worlds with VR goggles, tested their piloting skills in flight simulators, and met Scooby, the robot dog. They also put their coding and engineering skills to the test by programming LEGO SPIKE robots and competing in thrilling rounds of robot sumo wrestling.

What a fantastic week of designing, building, coding, and discovering. We loved seeing these young innovators tackle every challenge with creativity and enthusiasm!

Day 3 of DROBOTS was filled with creativity, engineering, and innovation at STARBASE!

Campers designed their own mini golf holes for an exciting round of Sphero golf and put the finishing touches on their rockets!

A special thank you to the Olathe South High School Robotics Team for bringing their robot out for campers to see, explore, and even drive. You helped make the day even more memorable and inspiring for our future engineers!

DROBOTS kept the momentum flying on Day 2 at STARBASE!

Campers put their engineering and problem-solving skills to the test as they competed in Sphero soccer, constructed rockets, navigated drones through an obstacle course, and launched Eggbert on a flight mission to see if their safety restraint systems could protect their precious passenger.

Day 2 was packed with innovation, teamwork, and discovery!

DROBOTS summer camp is off to a soaring start at STARBASE!

Campers kicked off Day 1 by designing custom drone propellers with CAD, taking their first flights as drone pilots, designing soccer players for exciting Sphero soccer matches, and investigating the amazing properties of air through hands-on experiments.

From designing and testing to flying and discovering, our young innovators packed a lot of STEAM into one exciting day. We can't wait to see what they accomplish next!
