Emerald Coast Science Center is a hands-on museum in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, focused on providing experiential STEM exploration for visitors. It serves schools across Bay, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, and Escambia counties through outreach programs that bring scientific concepts into educational settings. The organization positions itself within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, aiming to be a regional leader in scientific encounters and education in Northwest Florida. The center relies on a small staff to run interactive exhibits and outreach activities, and it has earned recognition such as the Roy L. Shafer Leading Edge Award in Resilience from the Association of Science and Technology Centers. A recent collaboration with Fort Walton Beach Library for a Solar Eclipse Extravaganza on April 8 demonstrates its community engagement and partnership-focused approach.
