See What Makes Fort Wayne Notable & Unique
Fort Wayne is a business center and the second largest city in Indiana- 1st largest by size. Located in the northeast corner of the state at the confluence of three rivers, it is a diverse industrial and commercial center with an attractive downtown and a friendly, small-town feel for a city its size.

Fort Wayne’s industrial base has recovered from the 1980s decline of International Harvester and now includes a General Motors truck manufacturing plant, electronics manufacturer Motorola and telcom giant Verizon, mid-size electric motor and automotive suppliers, as well as the headquarters of Fortune 500 member Lincoln National Life Insurance. Despite the vulnerability of these industries, employment has held steady thanks to the area’s economic diversity.

Fort Wayne’s Science of Storytelling
Two successful recent developments have enhanced the organization’s ability to share its mission. The organization’s new logo and marketing materials and the Science On a Sphere exhibit, which features a three dimensional research tool designed to educate visitors about earth and space systems have both received positive feedback from the community.

The Science On a Sphere exhibit is designed to appear to be rotating and floating in mid air, providing a highly visual experience for visitors of all ages with plans to have two-to-four traveling exhibits per year. Exhibits will feature a series of stations, computer interactives, and hands-on models for visitors to make learning fun.

In addition to this, Science Central continues to offer traveling labs, demonstrations, assemblies, and festivals at schools and other off site locations via The Outreach (Science4U) program.

Visit Science Central at 1950 N. Clinton St., Fort Wayne, Indiana 46805. For more information, visit their website at www.sciencecentral.org or call them at (260) 424-2400.
