A MESSAGE FROM THE EDUCATION TEAM

We look forward to your group’s visit and the opportunity your students will have to explore the many exhibit spaces designed to inspire curiosity and interactivity. The Exploreum comes to life each day as students discover the world of science with our Education Team. Encouraging excellence in science, technology, engineering, and math education (STEM) is the heart of what we do, and we are excited to continue to grow, explore, and learn with your group.

Curious Kids Lab

Make • Test • Discover

Build it, sail it, and see where science takes you!

Turn your home into a science lab with an easy, at-home toy sailboat experiment! Using simple household materials, you can design and build your very own boat, then put it to the test to see if it can stay afloat and sail across the water. Along the way, you’ll explore science concepts like buoyancy, wind, and motion all while having fun together. This hands-on activity is perfect for curious minds of all ages and encourages creativity, problem-solving, and experimentation. No special equipment required, just imagination and a sense of adventure. Get ready to build, sail, and discover the science that keeps your boat moving!
