About this organization
Mission
Project Exploration works to ensure communities traditionally overlooked by science—particularly minority youth and girls—have access to personalized experiences with science and scientists. At the heart of our work are youth programs, which impact the lives of hundreds of students each year by fostering a long-term interest in science.
About
Discover programs spark interest, and engagement and introduce students to a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines and topics, as well as the basics of the nature of science, scientific inquiry, and engineering design process. Examples of Project Exploration's discover programs: Sisters4Science, Brothers4Science, Science Digests, and STEM Quest.
