Thousands of baseball fans travel across the country annually to watch teams compete in Omaha, Nebraska, during the NCAA Men\u2019s College World Series in June. This year, NASA\u2019s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland swung for the fences to celebrate the city\u2019s Diamond Anniversary of hosting the event and to highlight the intersections of sports and STEM.  <\/p>\n

As part of a larger outreach program across the region, NASA Glenn, the only NASA center in the Midwest, continues to meet audiences where they are to make space relatable to all.  <\/p>\n

\u201cWe brought NASA to Omaha during the College World Series to connect with a broader audience through one of the country\u2019s most celebrated sporting events,\u201d said NASA Glenn Public Engagement Specialist Heather Brown, who led the event. \u201cOur goal was to spark curiosity, inspire the next generation, and demonstrate how science and exploration intersect with everyday passions \u2014 like baseball.\u201d <\/p>\n

Situated next to the Kiewit Luminarium on the Lewis and Clark Landing of Omaha\u2019s RiverFront, NASA Glenn engaged fans with Artemis<\/a>-themed displays, interactive kiosks, a Space Launch System inflatable rocket, and the 53-foot Journey to Tomorrow traveling exhibit. In addition, Omaha-born NASA Flight Director Brandon Lloyd greeted visitors and participated in an event at the Branched Oak Observatory, where a large crowd of space enthusiasts asked questions and learned more about NASA\u2019s missions.  <\/p>\n

\u201cThis was an incredible opportunity to tell NASA\u2019s story and showcase our work in a setting that was already energized and ready to engage,\u201d Brown said. <\/p>\n
