Our Home School Exploration Series isn't just for

Our Home School Exploration Series isn't just for K-9th graders who are homeschooling. This series of hands-on programs is offered both in-person and virtually. Virtual classes include a kit of materials. Supplement your child's STEAM learning with Explora. Starts on January 23.

Thanks to you, Explora was able to transform--even

Thanks to you, Explora was able to transform--even after our closure--to a new model of virtual and limited in-person programs and materials kit distribution to keep minds engaged in STEAM. It became even more critical during the pandemic that we continue our mission work to address the digital divide and narrow educational opportunity gaps for children underrepresented in STEAM. Here's a summary of what we achieved with your amazing support:

• Daily social media postings, like StoryTime, Try This @ Home, and Meet a Scientist. Since March, our digital content has been viewed over 296,290 times on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube!
• 31,242 students and their teachers and families were engaged in STEAM learning through Explora programs in collaboration with schools.
• Creation and distribution of over 10,000 STEM activity cards through community partners including food distribution sites and Little Free Libraries.
• Creation and distribution of 1,645 non-digital Explora@Home science kits, the overwhelming majority provided at no-cost to vulnerable populations, including students residing in tribal and rural communities across NM.
• 1,275 students participated in COVID-savvy in-person or virtual semester and out-of-school time programs. 423 students who were able to enjoy STEAM learning at home through Virtual Camps. Virtual Family Science Nights for an additional 1,170 participants.
• Provision of 50 teacher professional development workshops to support hundreds of educators in navigating distance learning platforms and creating engaging lesson plans.
• In collaboration with over 50 regional partners and local STEAM professionals, Explora facilitated the 2020 New Mexico Science Fiesta, a week-long communal celebration of science. The free digital event engaged nearly 4,000 viewers of all ages from throughout the state, September 18-26, 2020.

We're thankful to have served so many individuals in 2020, and we're gearing up to do much more this year! Thank you!

It's duct tape! Despite its name, repairing heating and cooling ducts is one of the few things duct tape is not very good for! You can, however, make wallets, purses, and even clothes out of it! Check-in next week for another Explora #closeup! #HowWeExplora #STEAM #ExploraNM
