Look for the Science Extra Point during football games
If you attend a home football game this year, be sure to watch for the MAPS Science Extra Point on the scoreboard. The Science Extra Point is a question that is related to a MAPS department and runs as an animation during a timeout. The first Science Extra Point of the season appeared on the scoreboard early in the second quarter of the Cincinnati game. The question was:
