GREENSBORO, N.C. — Editor's note: Video above is from previous story on the Greensboro Science Center's Meerkat exhibit.

The Greensboro Science Center announces their SNAP/EBT discount program has broken $1 million in discounts for 76,000 guests.

With the goal to no let a a family’s income be a roadblock to scientific inspiration, the GSC started their SNAP/EBT Discount Program in August 2021 as part of their SCIENCE FOR ALL initiative.

The intention of the program was to inspire as many city, county, and state residents as possible through a lens of science diversity and career inspiration.

Places like the Greensboro Science Center can and do change lives. A young child who has never been exposed to life’s incredible diversity, the mysteries of the cosmos or the science behind everyday life is missing so much," said Glenn Dobrogosz, CEO of the Greensboro Science Center.

"You just never know what will trigger that inner spark which leads to deeper curiosity and career motivation," said Dobrogosz
