They don't just do a teacher workshop on the science of baseball. They have student camps and a webinar program. And they do basketball, soccer and football, too! They have helped the Arizona Diamondbacks and LA Galaxy develop programs which educate kids about science in sports, which I've already mentioned in this blog, plus the Houston Astros, Colorado Rockies, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, to name a few.
This is from their website:
The Science of Sport is a non-for-profit foundation dedicated to developing curriculum and programming that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Our curricula are designed as in-school exercises that can be delivered by teachers or as after school programs that can be delivered by parents, coaches, and volunteers. The focus on middle school students is motivated by the fact that this age group can still be influenced to make academic choices that will help them transition from primary to secondary education.
