As a nonprofit, our goal is to make science education accessible and engaging for everyone. ?? A huge step toward accomplishing this is through Adventure Access, a program that supports free and reduced admission, subsidized membership, and comped tickets for nonprofits serving underrepresented communities. With the support of our generous sponsors, we provided almost 20,000 free or reduced admission tickets last year! Interested in supporting Adventure Access? Email Michelle Pruett, Institutional Giving Manager ([email protected]), for more information. Special thanks to our Adventure Access sponsors: Ryman Hospitality Properties Foundation, Ingram Charities, The Memorial Foundation, 3M, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Community Trust, Vanderbilt University, and The Louie M. & Betty M. Phillips Foundation. #adventuresci #adventuresciencecenter #adventureaccess #impactreport

Thank you, Leah Melber, Ph.D., for representing the science center through your continued leadership! #adventuresci #adventuresciencecenter #scienceliteracy #sciencecenter #nashvillesciencecenter
