Program Description:

Basketball, soccer, football, baseball--we bet a fair number of your favorite sports involve a ball. Join us as we put a unique spin on things and incorporate a little science into the game. We'll investigate why certain sports balls are shaped the way they are, and explore fun activities to do with your spare balls instead of merely playing the game! It's an exciting, hands-on program that you don't want to miss!
