Marlins ballpark transforms into interactive hub for S.T.E.A.M Day, hosts students from local schools

The home of the Miami Marlins turned into a field of dreams for thousands of local students.

On Thursday, the baseball team along with Florida Power & Light teamed up to transform loanDepot Park into an interactive hub focused on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics for S.T.E.A.M Day.

Children from schools across South Florida participated in a range of hands-on activities and robotic demonstrations.

“When students can touch and interact with the same kind of technology shaping industries right now – they can connect education to real career,” said Andy Martinez, FPL External Affairs.

Some students also had the chance to take part in pre-game festivities on the field and to watch Thursday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds.
