Driven: Together (Slideshow)

Running Time:
4:15

The Explainers are the go-to people on the Exploratorium's floor--in their trademark orange vests, they roam the vast museum, helping visitors engage with the exhibits. In this show, we explore the field trip Explainers, a team of people from all different backgrounds, some of whom had little interest in science before getting involved here. The story isn't just about our home team, it's about the broader possibilities of teamwork and togetherness.
