Eddie’s Body – An accessible extension to Eddie!

Every single child should be given an opportunity to learn and experience EdVenture without limitations. These four new extensions of Eddie—his heart, brain, lungs, and stomach—are some of the many ways EdVenture is evolving and adapting to be more accessible and inclusive. Thanks to the generosity of PRISMA Health, Eddie’s body can now be explored by all children regardless of their abilities.

After nearly 20 years of resting on the fingertip of Eddie, the iconic EdVenture dragon fly has been removed. Insect lovers fear not! Eddie has a new six-legged arthropod that’s landed on his finger—one with indigenous roots to the Midlands area. It’s the firefly! Eddie’s new flying (endangered) friend is just one aspect of the museum’s new brand. Climb to the second floor to get a closer look at Eddie’s new friend and grab a fact-sheet on ways you can help conserve the local firefly population!

This brand new exhibit, supported by Richland School District 2, highlights medical careers and allows young minds to explore the occupations in the healthcare profession. At MedVenture, young guests can explore the medical profession in a variety of capacities and learn what it takes to fulfill those roles. This guest experience was designed with the help of three high school students from Ridgeview High School to help inspire the next generation of healthcare workers.
