STEM Night at the Ballpark Returns April 7
Through public events and partnerships, the UNC Nutrition Research Institute connects science with the community. STEM Night at the Ballpark offers hands-on STEM activities for children and families across the region.
STEM Night is returning to the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers stadium on April 7, and we invite you to join us for an evening of baseball, hands-on science, and community fun.
In partnership with the Cannon Ballers, the UNC Nutrition Research Institute is bringing interactive STEM experiences to the ballpark for children and families across Kannapolis and surrounding communities.
Throughout the evening, fans of all ages can explore hands-on activity stations around the stadium, including:
- Fossil Finders: Dig into fossil-rich dirt from the Aurora Fossil Museum and uncover pieces of ancient marine life.
- Flying Machines: Engineer and launch a simple flying machine. Can you design it to soar even higher?
- Light-Up Nametags: Create an electrical circuit and turn invisible energy into something you can see.
- and more!
Between innings, enjoy live science experiments on the field. Ramses (and some rival mascots) will be roaming the stadium for photos and joining in on-field activities throughout the game. You may even head home with university swag.
Last year, hundreds of families joined us for a memorable night that celebrated curiosity, learning, and hometown pride. We look forward to building on that excitement again this year.
