Love basketball? Join us for STEAM Saturday and explore the science, technology, engineering and math behind the game.
Basketball – The Science Behind the Swish is a hands-on learning experience where guests will build their own game to take home while discovering how scientific principles shape performance on the court. Learn how angles and trajectory influence a shot, how balance and stability affect control, and how energy and motion power every play. Then take what you learn and apply it to your own game.
You will discover:
How angles and trajectory impact shooting accuracy
The role of balance and stability in control and movement
How energy and motion affect performance
How to build your own basketball-inspired game to take home
STEAM Saturday programs are designed to make science fun, interactive and easy to understand for learners of all ages.
This event is free with Discovery Park admission or membership.
