STEAM Teams learn about the inspiring life of Japanese Baseball Player, Shohei Ohtani who is an outstanding pitcher and batter. After learning about the science involved in baseball, they will construct a “Pitcher” that “pitches” the ball using an inclined plane. Then they will use creative and critical thinking as well as communication and collaboration skills to create a baseball park and a Homerun Derby game. This activity is for ages 7 to 12. Attendees under 8 must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.
