Have you driven by Explora lately? We look a whole

Have you driven by Explora lately? We look a whole lot different! Despite the museum remaining closed to the public due to current public health orders, a lot is going on--especially outside! We are in the midst of a construction project to build X Studio, Explora’s new teen center--a place to hang out, experiment, create, and learn. X Studio brings teens and their dreams together with cutting-edge tools, technologies, and mentors—all with a focus on STEAM, innovation, problem solving, and entrepreneurship.

Here teens will:
- Explore cutting-edge tools, technologies, and industries.
- Discover cool jobs that solve big problems and pay well—and how to get them.
- Get help with homework and studying and with finding the internships, connections, and next steps to land the job of your dreams.

Not only will most X Studio programs be free to teens and their families, some even pay teens to participate. After full roll-out Explora will employ up to 60 teens as paid interns, working on-site and with STEM employers around Burque.

You can learn more about X Studio, the Next Great Minds Campaign to expand Explora's campus, and how you can help by visiting https://www.explora.us/xstudio/ or through the link in our bio.

At Explora, we understand that a career in STEM most often begins with an early interest in science, technology, engineering, and math. That’s why we partner with the New Mexico Association for the Education of Young Children (@nmaeyc) to offer Early Childhood (EC) educator professional development. Our virtual workshops are designed to build the capacity of those working with our youngest learners and their families to do STEM activities integrated with literature in their classrooms. Workshops are open to EC teachers, home childcare providers, preschool teachers, librarians, out-of-school time providers, and teacher cadets from our state and beyond! Together, Explora and NMAEYC are empowering educators to instill in our youngest learners a passion for STEM and a lifelong love of learning.
