Discovery Place Science is introducing a new Youth Membership designed to give teenagers and young adults throughout the Charlotte region a welcoming place to explore, connect and cultivate their curiosity. It's a membership program for teens and young adults ages 14 to 20. The uptown Charlotte museum created a dedicated spot where young people can build connections, pursue STEM interests, and develop skills for life — all outside the usual settings of home and school. "Your first space is home," said Nikki Hill, chief learning officer, at Discovery Place, according to The Charlotte Observer. Through this support, the museum will integrate character education, emotional well-being, and mental health support into its core programming.
