Many families in communities across New Mexico con

Many families in communities across New Mexico continue to face barriers when it comes to remote learning and engaging in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math). That’s why Explora is particularly grateful to our longtime partner, @weareintel, for their recent support of our STEAM outreach within the Tribal communities of Santa Clara, Cochiti, San Ildefonso, and Acoma Pueblos.

Thanks to generous funding from Intel, we distributed STEAM Learning Kits to local schools and engaged 250 Native students in hands-on science learning and discovery. Our educational partners were thrilled, saying “My kids will love these!” – Teacher with Cochiti Pueblo Head Start; and, “[I was asked] ‘Is it possible to get more kits?’ The other teachers saw my kits and want to do the activities with their classes.” – Teacher at Haak’u Community School. Together with partners like Intel, who share our commitment to eliminating STEAM barriers throughout our state, Explora will continue to connect NM children to the learning resources and support they need!

This month, Explora was pleased to partner with @rmacroswell for a Second Saturday Event. Explora educators brought 400 STEAM Learning Kits that children and families used to explore mirrors and reflections, make kaleidoscopes and scribble bots with pool noodles and hobby motors, design and test parachutes, and engineer a centrifugal force swing. Attendees were then able to take their Kit home to continue their experimentation and discovery.

Thank you, Roswell Museum and Art Center, for inviting Explora to be part of this event and creating opportunities for STEAM learning across New Mexico!
