About the Program
The STARBASE Maxwell program is an onsite education support program hosted and housed by Maxwell Air Force Base. We offer a unique STEAM lab where 5th graders from Autauga County Schools, Elmore County School District, Montgomery Public Schools, and Pike Road Schools have a unique hands-on experience throughout the academic school year. The program engages students through the inquiry-based curriculum with its "hands-on, mind-on" experiential activities. They study Newton's Laws and Bernoulli's principle; explore nanotechnology, navigation and mapping. They are captivated by engineering as they use the computer to design space stations, all-terrain vehicles, and submersibles. Math is embedded throughout the curriculum and students use metric measurement, estimation, calculation geometry and data analysis to solve questions. Teamwork is stressed as they work together to explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate concepts.
Our program encompasses a 25-hours of hands-on curriculum covered over a five day period. Students attend for 5 days from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
We will be working with Autauga County Schools, Elmore County School District, Montgomery Public Schools, and Pike Road Schools. If you do not see your school listed, please have them reach out to us and schedule a time for their fifth graders to attend STARBASE Maxwell.
