Thousands of teachers, parents, and students from four different states came together at Coors Field in Denver to celebrate STEM Day, an interactive event that brings science to life. The goal of the event is to showcase the wonders of science in an engaging and exciting way.
The day kicked off with over 10,000 students participating in various interactive science experiments at the stadium. The crowd erupted in cheers 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. The show featured spectacular demonstrations like 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 her experience at the event. She mentioned that this was her and her autistic son’s third year attending, emphasizing the importance of engaging children in scientific learning through unique events like STEM Day. She mentioned that events like these provide hands-on, real-time learning experiences that are crucial for student engagement.
After the science demonstrations, everyone in attendance had the opportunity to enjoy a Colorado Rockies game against the San Diego Padres, with the game scheduled to start at 1:10 p.m. on Thursday. All in all, STEM Day at Coors Field was a thrilling and educational experience for all who participated.
