Here comes the Sun ☀️ We're in the process of bringing solar power to Adventure Science Center. Thanks to Everybody Solar, we have installed dozens of solar panels on the roof of our building. Once the installation has been completed, we will introduce a solar power exhibit where guests can learn about sustainable energy and conversation. Look out the windows on the third floor the next time you visit the science center and wave "hi" to our solar panels! #adventuresci #adventuresciencecenter #solarpanels
