ABOUT
SIDEWALK SCIENCE CENTER

It started on a sidewalk in Savannah, Georgia.

​

I first created SSC to join 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, finding a home amongst locals and tourists alike.

 

Even though we no longer call Savannah home, SSC thrives in Florida, where we actively host free science and astronomy sessions at the Bradenton Riverwalk and Sarasota Bayfront. We believe in providing opportunities for everyone to access educational tools and resources, and partner with local organizations to make that mission a reality.

​

Thank you for being a part of it. We have a future to create.

​

To all your endeavors,

​

Alex Martin

Founder & Executive Director
