THE GIANT LAUNCH 

This week at the field, you will be participating in a S.T.E.M focused activity with your team called The Giant Launch. You and your teammates will take turns launching your squishy baseball across the field and ultimately learn how S.T.E.M plays a role in baseball & softball. Here are some important words you will learn: 

  • Trajectory: The path an object (ball) takes while moving through the air
  • Matter: Anything that takes up space
  • Mass: Measure of matter, usually in weight
  • Angle: The space between two lines that cross. This is usually measured in degrees.

HARMON AND SUE BURNS SCHOLARSHIP

The Harmon and Sue Burns Scholarship program is named in honor of the late Giants owners Harmon and Sue Burns. Both Harmon and Sue were generous supporters of the Giants Community Fund and Sue was a highly dedicated member of the Education Committee and the Board of Directors.
