Last week, the 5th graders from Indian Creek Elementary completed their Starbase Kelly Program. Sponsored by the 433rd Airlift Wing, Star Base Kelly has offered a fun, educational program for kids from the school districts around Kelly Field. Their programs offer aircraft tours, scientific experiments, teamwork and goal-setting exercises, rocket building and launching, and computer flight simulations. Our students have been working on building rockets over the last few weeks and were able to launch them into the sky. Once launched, the students attempted to catch their rockets as they parachuted back down.
The students had a great hands-on learning experience while having fun with their classmates and teachers!
