Digital curriculum provider Discovery Education is partnering with the NBA on a free, virtual field trip centered around next week’s All-Star Game.
Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams will join league and arena executives in explaining the application of STEM skills in their daily jobs. The NBA-Discovery Education digital experience takes place at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 14. The event will also include a live Twitter chat touting “special NBA guests.”
Joining Williams in the presentation is the NBA’s head of referee training, Monty McCutchen, who will take users on a tour of the league’s replay center in New York.
