FVSD 5th Graders Explore Hands-On STEM at Los Alamitos STARBASE Academy

Newland Elementary 5th graders recently completed an exciting, week-long day trip series to the STARBASE Academy, located at the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos.

The STARBASE program offers students high-energy, interactive learning experiences focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Each day, students traveled to the base to participate in practical scientific experiments, computer-aided design (CAD) activities, and collaborative engineering projects led by specialized instructors.

The week proved to be a remarkable experience for the students. Beyond the engaging classroom curriculum, traveling to the base during local Airshow week offered students a unique opportunity to see real-world aviation demonstrations and military aircraft up close.

Following such a successful week of discovery, Newland Elementary has already reserved the same week for next year's 5th-grade class to participate in this wonderful STEM experience.
