The Dallas Mavericks Science of Basketball, presented by PwC, aims to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through basketball examples.
The Mavs partnered with Science of Sport, joining other professional sports teams around the country, to use this curriculum to empower students who might be underperforming academically. It also makes learning fun for students.
The Dallas Mavericks and forward/center Dwight Powell, along with legend Rolando Blackman, have participated in Science of Basketball the last five seasons. The program involves a Texas standards-based curriculum for fifth-grade teachers, students and parents with hands-on activities and lessons.
