Bright futures start here.

Your support enables us to grow.

For over 15 years, ExplorationWorks has been igniting curiosity and bringing high quality STEM education to our community. We cannot do it alone. As a small, independent non-profit business with no parent organization that provides us with funding to remain operational, our donors are crucial to our success and growth.

Monthly donors will be featured on our Lab Partners wall at ExplorationWorks! Both one-time donors and monthly donors will be listed in our Annual Report. Please let us know if you would like to remain anonymous.

Inspire future scientists and critical thinkers to change our world!
