Starbase – 125th Fighter Wing Florida Air National Guard

Sixth grade students of San Jose Catholic School attended a three-day workshop in April in affiliation with the Starbase Program, which engages students through inquiry-based curriculum and hands-on learning. The students studied Newton’s Laws, Bernoulli’s Principle, nanotechnology, navigation, mapping, and rocket building and launching. They were also captivated by engineering, as they used the computer to design submersibles and work on flight simulators.
The Department of Defense has selected the Starbase Program to lose all funding based on the recent sequestration. The primary focus for Starbase is to ready Title I students in 5th grade for FCAT testing in Duval County.
