KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Persistent rain showers didn’t stop the KSHB 41 Weather team and thousands of students from across Kansas City from taking part in a few weather and science experiments.
Thanks to a partnership between KSHB 41, the Kansas City Royals and Science City, thousands of students and their families looked on Thursday at Kauffman Stadium for a series of weather experiments hosted by the KSHB 41 weather team.

Following the experiments inside the stadium, students and families were able to venture out to the Kauffman Stadium parking lot for interactive activities.
Now all the fun is out in the @Royals’ parking lot. We’re hosting a STEM fair with folks like @OB_Inc_KC, @wecodekc, @KCMOFireDept and more! pic.twitter.com/RxKqovXQUJ
