Families, educators, and students gathered at Coors Field in Denver to celebrate STEM Day, a hands-on event that showcases the thrill of science. The event was attended by more than 10,000 people from four different states and featured interactive science experiments and activities for all attendees.
The festivities kicked off with loud cheers as Dinger from the Colorado Rockies made an appearance and a ball was launched out of barrels, setting the tone for the exciting showcase of scientific phenomena. Renowned Science Educator Steve Spangler led the 13th annual STEM Day show with thrilling demonstrations such as launching toilet paper out of leaf blowers and creating smoke clouds with liquid nitrogen at temperatures of 320 degrees below zero.
One parent, CBS News Colorado’s Traffic Tracker Brian Sherrod shared her experience attending the event with her autistic son for the third year in a row. She emphasized the importance of such events in engaging students who may not be interested in traditional educational activities. The hands-on learning approach offered by STEM Day provides an exciting and local opportunity for children to explore science in real-time.
After the science festivities ended, all attendees had the chance to enjoy a Colorado Rockies game against the San Diego Padres starting at 1:10 p.m on Thursday at Coors Field. The event brought together families, educators, and students for a day of fun and educational experiences at Coors Field.
