Happy National STEAM Day from Explora! Serving a

Happy National STEAM Day from Explora!

Serving as a community resource for hands-on STEAM education means removing barriers so that more families can enjoy Explora's science-rich learning environment. One of the ways we achieve this goal is through collaboration with our longtime partner, Albuquerque Public Schools Title I. With APS Title I, Explora welcomes entire school communities to enjoy a night of fun scientific exploration and learning through our Family Science Night program. During these events, teachers hone their skills in professional development workshops while students make discoveries and build their understanding of STEAM concepts by interacting with our exhibits alongside their family members. Over the course of the school year, Explora will welcome thousands of students, families, and teachers from over 70 local elementary schools to our doors and inspire our community's future STEAM leaders and innovators. We are proud to continue this much-loved program!

November is Native American Heritage Month! Join us in honoring the work of Native STEM professionals in our state, like Dr. Cherie DeVore, who we recently had the pleasure of interviewing! Karina Branson used that interview with Dr. DeVore to create this fantastic timelapse sketch!

Stay tuned for clips from the full interview and other illustrations from our STEAM Storytellers series!

Explora is investing in a new generation of STEM leaders, and we need your help!
Earlier this year, we launched a scholarship program for promising high school seniors of color, called STEM Scholars. Through this initiative, we are able to directly support the aspirations of students underrepresented in STEM, helping them follow their dreams of earning a STEM degree right here in New Mexico.
You can help by donating to the fund and spreading the word! We will begin taking applications for 2022 STEM Scholars later this month, and will award as many $2,500 scholarships as donations to the fund allow. Our goal is to provide awards to six diverse and deserving teens in the spring of 2022, thereby changing the future of STEM in our state! Thank you for your support!

The woodchips flew as School’s Out campers designed and shaped rolling pins, tops, spoons, and honey dippers!

Explora welcomed back the NM Woodturners to lead a two-day camp on Creative Woodworking. The NM Woodturners volunteered their time, equipment, tools and shared their expertise with curious participants--all of whom had a blast learning how to properly and safely use hand tools and basic woodturning principles on a lathe.

School’s Out camps take place in-person at Explora on days when schools in the community are not in session. Explora offers scholarships and financial assistance for every camp. We do not want anyone to miss out!
