Global collaborations:we learn and share with partners worldwide. By drawing on the exploratorium's broad expertise, global collaborations is able to provide a comprehensive set of creative services from master planning to program development to exhibit fabrication and installation. We like to be as far upstream in our clients' creative process as possible, exploring the rich questions that lead to truly authentic, innovative problem solving.
Educator engagement:we're at the forefront of science education. By making science visible, touchable, and accessible to a wide variety of people at the museum, online, and in the classroom, our explore-for-yourself way of learning and teaching influences science education worldwide. Our professional development programs provide educators with the skills, tools, and support they need to apply inquiry-based learning and teaching in their classes. We also design programs that make connections between the traditionally separate worlds of formal (school) and informal (museum) education and understanding.
