We’re rolling right along, thanks to General Motors! 🚲

Science Central is incredibly grateful to General Motors for its $22,500 investment in Ride the Wire, along with an additional $6,450 contributed through GM’s employee match program.

Together, that’s $28,950 invested in helping bring this memorable Science Central experience back to Fort Wayne.

Support like this is about more than bringing back a beloved exhibit. It’s about creating hands-on, unforgettable experiences that stay with people long after they leave Science Central.

Thank you, GM, for stepping up, investing in our community, and helping make Ride the Wire possible again! See how you can help; visit our Ride the Wire link in bio or visit ScienceCentral.org
