Overview

What to expect of this Teacher Portal.

At Science of Sport, our mission is to make STEM education engaging, relevant, and accessible to all learners by harnessing the universal language of sports. We believe that math and science come alive when students can see, touch, and experience the concepts through real-world applications—especially those rooted in sports. 

As a national non-profit organization, Science of Sport develops high-quality STEM curriculum and delivers programming designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and promote critical thinking in students of all backgrounds. We are dedicated to supporting both teachers and students through hands-on, sports-based learning experiences that meet the needs of diverse learning environments. Science of Sport is committed to transforming the way STEM is taught and experienced—empowering the next generation of learners to see themselves as future scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and innovators. 

The New York Knicks Science of Basketball, Sponsored by Pfizer, focuses on providing engaging hands-on learning activities using basketball examples and providing direct services to teachers and students. These STEM activities emphasize hands-on learning, socio-emotional learning, and STEM education. Students will use materials and sporting equipment to complete the various activities and worksheets. We believe in using the power of the New York Knicks and the Science of Basketball to support our communities.
