Celebrate Science. Honor a Legacy.

Our Essential Elements program offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to make a lasting impact on the world of science while supporting Discovery Space.

By adopting an element from our Periodic Table, you can celebrate a personal connection, pay tribute to a loved one, or mark a special occasion with a meaningful legacy.

How It Works
