Expanding Their Long-Term Partnership for Greater Community Impact
Orlando Science Center and AdventHealth for Children are expanding their long-term partnership and unlocking new opportunities for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education across Central Florida.
Through this effort, AdventHealth for Children will become the presenting sponsor of the STEM Discovery Center, the educational heart of the Science Center. It is a launchpad for countless science learning initiatives.
Inspiring Tomorrow’s STEM Leaders Both Onsite and Beyond
Located on the second floor, the STEM Discovery Center is more than just a space; it’s where future scientists, engineers, and innovators begin their journey.
AdventHealth’s support also boosts the Science Center's ability to bring STEM experiences to the community through outreach programs and a fleet of eight mobile vans. Last year alone, we delivered nearly 400 STEM programs across over 30 counties, visiting schools, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, and neighborhood centers.
Partnering for a Healthier, Smarter Future
This partnership will bring new energy to STEM programming through collaboration with AdventHealth University. Plans include guest speakers, student volunteers at camp, and even the development of a Medical Career Science Night at their campus.
“Our shared vision is about building a stronger, healthier community through education,” said JoAnn Newman, President & CEO of Orlando Science Center. “Together, we’re creating immersive STEM experiences that will empower learners of all ages.”
AdventHealth for Children’s commitment reflects a deep belief in the power of science to heal, uplift, and transform. “We hope this partnership sparks curiosity and inspires the next generation of scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals,” said Kristi Baker, senior executive officer at AdventHealth for Children.
