History

Established in 1982.

In 1982, a group of Davis, California community members established a single focus — to

provide a new approach to teaching children and their families about science. Since that time,

Explorit has grown into a reputable and experienced organization (a Nature Center and a Science

Center), four vehicles, and multiple science programs being provided in over 17 Northern

California counties. Explorit’s unique teaching style allows for increased interest and lasting

curiosity through hands-​on science education and inquiry-​based activities that complement

formal education. Our interdisciplinary focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and

math) activities provides for interactive exploration and youth development that support our

mission to «to ignite and foster a curiosity about science and nature through inquiry and

discovery.» Major activities for Explorit include science and health education programs for the

general public, schools and community groups.
