Welcome to the Exploreum Teacher Resource Center!

Mission
The mission of the Gulf Coast Exploreum is to promote science literacy among the people of South Alabama and the Gulf Coast Region.

Schools / Student Groups
We welcome teachers to the Education area of the Exploreum website. Here, you will find in-depth information about the educational activities available when visiting the Exploreum, our upcoming special programs and events and a variety of resources for teachers to use in their classrooms. More than 55,000 school children visit the Exploreum each year, and we use each field trip as an opportunity to make science learning fun for students.

With our four permanent exhibits, our two science laboratories, the only IMAX DOME Theater on the Gulf Coast and our state-of-the-art Digital Theater, we know how to make science learning fun, interactive and educational. Call 251.208.6880 or email studentgroups@exploreum.com to book your field trip today.

Business / Industry
Education extends beyond the classroom. The Exploreum routinely collaborates with industry, business and the public sector. As the region continues to develop, so too, will the demand for a highly skilled workforce in the areas of science and technology. The Exploreum can partner with your organization to develop employee teaching and training tools, create science-based mentoring programs with area youth and demonstrate the “science” involved in your industry to show youth the real-world applications of science, math and technological learning.

At the Exploreum, we understand the value of science education and how important it is to foster the connection between education, business and industry. If your organization is interested in helping to develop a more science literate workforce, the Exploreum can be your link through its innovative and meaningful education programs. Please contact our education department at education@exploreum.com for more information.
