The GenCorp Foundation and Aerojet are proud to support Exploit's mission 'to involve people in science experiences that touch our lives' through the annual Corporate Science Challenge."

"Everyone at Genentech loves a challenge, especially a science-based challenge, which is why we love participating in Explorit's premier fundraising event. Our team gets to match wits with the best from the Universities and surrounding businesses, cheer in our cleverness and groan in our disappointment! Regardless of the outcome, the best part is supporting Explorit and providing them much of the funding needed to bring science to the region's children."

"Explorit’s Corporate Science Challenge is a wonderful event and it provides a multitude of opportunities for our company and staff, and it allows us to contribute to science education in our community. At the same time, we get to reward some of our staff with a fun event and a chance to mingle with many of our clients and local government representatives. It’s a “don’t miss” event on our annual calendar."

"This is one of my favorite events. The Science Challenge is full of surprises and just plain old fun for everyone. Even those of us who aren’t scientists enjoy the event — my favorite question category is science fiction.
