From the museum website:
Explora is part science center,
part children’s museum,
part free-choice school,
part grandma’s attic,
part grandpa’s garage, part laboratory, part neighborhood full of interesting people, and part of many people’s lives.
Currently, Explora serves more than 200,000 people a year, and presents over 2,600 educational programs to more than 75,000 students from 460 schools and organizations. Explora has provided 5,000 Helping Hand memberships at no cost to families whose children qualified for free or reduced school lunches. Explora has collaborated on projects with more than 50 other organizations, including local non-profits, science centers and children’s museums from around the country, universities, libraries, senior centers, and seven city community centers.
Explora is a place where families can get to know each other better, learn together, and share new experiences of the basic processes and materials investigated and used by science, technology and art. Explora’s exhibit activities engage people of all ages with small-scale materials and equipment in personal spaces where they can communicate comfortably with family and friends, manipulate a wide range of physical variables, and develop their own thinking about what they are experiencing.
