Parents, students and educators from across the country gathered at Coors Field in Denver for STEM Day, a vibrant event that brings science to life. The goal of this interactive showcase was to highlight the thrill and wonder of science in an engaging way.
The day began with over 10,000 students taking part in various hands-on science experiments at the stadium. The crowd cheered as special guest Dinger from the Colorado Rockies made an appearance followed by a demonstration involving launching balls out of barrels.
Renowned Science Educator Steve Spangler has been organizing this event for the past 13 years, creating spectacular demonstrations that included launching toilet paper out of leaf blowers and creating smoke clouds using liquid nitrogen at a temperature of 320 degrees below zero.
One parent, Colorado’s Traffic Tracker Brian Sherrod, shared his experience at the event. He emphasized how important it is to engage children in scientific learning through unique events like STEM Day. These events provide real-time learning experiences that are essential for student engagement.
After the science demonstrations, everyone in attendance had the chance to enjoy a Colorado Rockies game against the San Diego Padres, with the game scheduled to start at 1:10 p.m. on Thursday. Overall, STEM Day at Coors Field was an exciting and educational experience for all who attended.
