"The Jonsson family has long supported science research and science education. We strongly believe that our future depends on how well we educate our children. The Explorit expansion will give thousands of children and their families an exciting place where they can come and experience a hands-on learning environment. Our gift to Explorit represents my family's deep commitment to engage as many children as possible in exploring the wonderful world of science."
