To ignite and foster curiosity about science and nature through inquiry and discovery.
Dear Friends of Explorit,​
​
Thank you one and all for attending our open community meeting to reimagine Explorit Science Center on Sunday, June 29. It was so gratifying to meet all of you and hear your passion and ideas about Explorit.
​
The results of our word-cloud around Explorit’s mission are below. “Science” and “Fun” are so much at the core of what we want Explorit to be.
​
Remember, we are on “pause”* at Explorit so that we can reimagine a new plan for a sustainable Explorit!!
​
Whether you attended or not, we welcome you to join us in this journey. Please take a moment to fill out this form to provide us your thoughts on Explorit and/or to express your interest in being involved.
We plan to have a second open community meeting toward the end of the summer to present our plans. Providing your contact information will help us keep you up-to-date on what’s happening at Explorit.
Remember that when we feel challenged by world-events, our most powerful act is to get involved locally. Get involved in supporting science literacy and inquiry! Please go to our "Donate Page" to donate.
Thank you to our wonderful community.

To our wonderful community,
​
As you may know we find ourselves forced to put Explorit on pause after the end of May. This means we have had to cancel summer camps - something that pains us to do but we feel it only responsible to give families a chance to make other arrangements. You can read the complete text of my message to our Friends of Explorit HERE.
​
We at Explorit believe that our core mission of igniting curiosity through hands-on exploration of science and the natural world is more important than ever, but that it is time to rethink our business model. Putting Explorit on pause, although painful, represents an opportunity to reimagine a financially stable Explorit that can help our community revitalize hands-on science education, develop curiosity in our kids and support their engagement with the world of science and technology. We look forward to working with our community to realize these goals.
​
We are still accepting donations. These funds will help us to steward our final school programming this year and will ensure that we have sufficient resources to survive a pause. Please go to our "Donate Page" to donate or reach out to us to make other arrangements. Thank you!
