Local Baseball Team Teaches Math and Science during Summer Home Games

Hot Lava Software, Inc | 18 Jul 2008

This summer the Frederick Keys are changing the way that fans learn about baseball. The Keys have teamed up with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and Hot Lava Software, Inc. to bring fans a new way to learn the science behind sports. The promotion, dubbed the Sports Bytes Competition, tests fans’ knowledge of the science behind sports via their mobile phones. Throughout the months of July and August the Keys will facilitate fans to use their mobile phones in new and exciting ways to learn the science behind the baseball game that unfolds before their eyes.

Attend a Frederick Keys home game during July and August this summer and fans will see a wild haired professor in a white lab coat and safety goggles. The Professor will appear in the middle innings and lead on top of the dugout. He will playfully challenge the intelligence of the audience and encourage fans to take out their mobile phones and participate by text messaging an answer in response to a science question about baseball. The Frederick Keys have embraced this effort and are committed to educating the community through the Sports Bytes Competition. Attend a Frederick Keys home game this July or August and experience, live, the thrill of the Sports Bytes Competition. Or access the questions via a mobile phone by text messaging “sport” to 83960 and prove a fan can be smarter than the Professor. Sports Bytes are also available at www.hdwap.com/s.
