STARBASE Minnesota offers a unique, immersive STEM experience on a Minnesota Air National Guard base, providing access to exciting, technology-rich environments and interactions with STEM professionals.
STARBASE Minnesota's Summer Next Gen program offers an immersive STEM experience for children entering grades 4, 5, or 6 in Fall 2026. Campers embark on an epic mission to Mars, engaging in hands-on activities that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. The program includes designing and 3D printing rocket parts, programming various robots for Mars missions, and utilizing virtual reality to explore space. Students also develop energy systems for a Mars base, conduct simulations, and use augmented reality. They launch rockets and collect data, all while learning relevant STEM concepts and exploring potential STEM careers. The curriculum is designed to be engaging, academically enriching, and distinct from the school-year program, ensuring a fresh experience for returning campers.
A typical day involves hands-on projects, collaborative activities with peers, and focused learning challenges, both indoors and outdoors, centered around the Mars mission theme.
This camp is ideal for students who enjoy team-centric, hands-on learning and are excited to try new things in STEM, particularly those interested in space exploration, robotics, and engineering.
