Science of Baseball Program

Presented by Chase and Insight

Launched in 2013, the Arizona Diamondbacks Science of Baseball presented by Chase and Insight, is a series of programs and initiatives that promote the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The goal is to translate the American love of baseball into an appreciation, understanding, and passion of the science and mathematics underlying the sport.

This program aims to train elementary and middle school teachers to provide a university research-based curriculum that will engage and empower students. The curriculum and training, designed with College Professor and STEM Expert Ricardo Valerdi, is provided free of charge thanks to a charitable contribution from the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, Chase, and Insight.

To date, more than 13,000 students, 400 teachers, and 300 schools have participated in the program.

Free Teacher Training

The Arizona Diamondbacks provide free Science of Baseball teacher training sessions throughout the year. Teachers learn best practices on how to implement the program in their classroom. Teachers are also provided with the Arizona Diamondbacks Science of Baseball curriculum booklet and a supply kit.

STEM Field Trip Days

The Arizona Diamondbacks host STEM Field Trip Days which allow students to engage in STEM related activities throughout the ballpark. STEM Field Trip Days also have educational programming highlighted by our D-backs Science of Baseball Show that teaches the math and science behind baseball.

As an additional benefit, each student/teacher/chaperone in attendance will receive TWO TICKETS to attend a future D-backs home game. Tickets will be mailed to your school after the field trip. For more information visit dbacks.com/education.

STEM Dugout

Located on Chase Field’s upper concourse near section 327, kids can stop by the STEM Dugout every home game to learn STEM-related facts, play baseball-themed games and take photos in the dugout next to manager Torey Lovullo. The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation has added the STEM Dugout, presented by Resolution Copper, for kids visiting Chase Field to learn about baseball’s inclusion of science, technology, engineering and math.

STEM Showcase

The D-backs Science of Baseball STEM Showcase presented by Chase and Insight takes place during a D-backs game typically during the month of September. Fans can visit various interactive displays and meet experts in science, technology, engineering, and math. For more information about the 2020 STEM Showcase contact the Arizona Diamondbacks Community Affairs department at dbacksfoundation@dbacks.com.
