Outreach Programs
Let Adventure Science Center bring memorable science experiences directly to students. The Science Center reaches out to schools, libraries and other sites within 100 miles of Nashville. Choose up to two programs per date from a variety of Science in Motion Outreach options. All activities support Tennessee Science Standards.
Our Science in Motion Chevy Equinox is on the road!
Adventure Science Center’s Science in Motion outreach vehicle is sponsored by Your Selected Chevy Dealers.
