We want to honor the life and legacy of James Stephen "Steve" Turner who passed away on Tuesday.

Steve Turner was an incredible supporter of the science center, with involvement in the construction and creation of Space Chase as well as the Judith Payne Turner theater at Adventure Science Center (dedicated to his wife of 55 years).

We are thankful for the support Steve showed to the science center throughout his life and our best wishes are with his family.
