Adventure Science Center Nashville
Programs
Description
We offer programming that provides opportunities for local youth to explore the STEM field as well as a chance to develop skills that will be useful academically and professionally. One of these programs is our Youth CR3W, which prepares local high school students for college and the working world. In this program, CR3W members frequently volunteer at ASC events and programs, assist with exhibits, hands-on activities, and outreaches, and also have the opportunity to participate in special STEM-based projects throughout the year, including a mentorship alongside our Scientist on Site program. Another program we offer is TWISTER, a one day professional conference for high school girls presented by women working in STEM professions. This conference allows students to learn about possible career paths in STEM and engage in hands-on STEM activities. We are happy to announce that the TWISTER conference has plans to expand to middle school students this upcoming year.
