Silly Guy participated in the Starbase Atlantis program last week. It is a free program funded by the DOD open to all students entering or graduating 5th grade. The program is 4 days of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. The week is full of hands on Science experiments and instruction. Some highlights from his week...designed his own space station, built and launched a model rocket, and simulated a flight where he had to take off from Ford Island, Pearl Harbor Naval Station and land safely at Hickam Air Force Base. He also went on a few field trips to various places around base. He was completly exhausted by the end of a 7 hour day but always excited to tell me about all of the fun things he had did at Starbase. To find out if this program is offered near you check out their website Starbase . Also on the website they offer some links to various science websites shared under the link tab. Check it out!
