225+ public & private events
in southwest Florida every single year.

Increasing access to science exposure, engagement, communication, and literacy through meaningful experiences in public spaces. Promoting scientific ways of thought creates intentional mindsets that strengthen individual decision-making skills, guide responsible public policies, and make us all a little more curious about the world...and the universe.

A NOTE
FROM THE FOUNDER

It started on a sidewalk in Savannah, Georgia.

​

I created SSC among the vibrant community and art scene in Savannah, where you'll find musicians and artists lining the streets and sidewalks of every square. SSC fit right in amongst locals and tourists alike.

 

Even though we no longer call Savannah home, SSC thrives in Florida, where we host science and astronomy programs nearly every single day in Bradenton, Sarasota, and St. Petersburg. Building on our mission, we aim to become a reliable community resource and reinforce science skillsets at all levels.

​

We'll see you on the sidewalk.​

What people say about our
science & astronomy experiences

"Last night was very informative and fun. I can't believe in the short time Alex was here, we were able to align my telescope and see the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mizar, and Polaris. Now I'm really energized to do more on my own. I really appreciate you."

"We had the best time at our daughters 7th birthday! The kids were super interested in seeing the moon and planets. Alex was extremely responsive and organized. The kids loved him and his alien friend! I would highly recommend this experience for a kids party. Educational and fun!!"
