A gift that Makes a Difference
As a vital non-profit with over a 75-year history in the Nashville community, the science center depends on the generous support of our community to continue our mission of opening all minds to the wonders of science and innovation.
Why give to Adventure Science Center?
Science centers like Adventure Science Center play a distinctive role in advancing science literacy and building a pipeline of workers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.
A 2017 national study (November 2017: Journal of Research in Science Teaching: The Contribution of Science-Rich Resources to Public Science Interest) found that visiting science centers was the only experience among those studied that consistently impacted youth interest in science throughout their lives. This study also concluded that commitments to science by learners occur at a young age, often before adolescence, and attitudes toward science and science careers in early adolescence appear to be the single most important factor in determining a child’s future career choice and success in science.
Our former board chair and renowned physician, Dr. Alex Jahangir, is an amazing example of this idea in action.
Your support truly helps inspire today's adventures to become tomorrow's leaders.
