Eric Dimond

After joining the Exploratorium in 1999, Eric worked as an exhibit developer on a succession of four National Science Foundation–funded grants. He went on to be Project Director of the Studio for Public Spaces as the team began planning for the Exploratorium’s move to Piers 15/17. In this role, Eric oversaw a team of designers, engineers, content and visitor specialists, and fabricators, both staff and contractors, as they created 20 exhibits for outdoor spaces at the new site. He also helped spearhead connection and collaborations between the Exploratorium and local community-based organizations, including the Boys & Girls Club and the Jamestown Community Center. He was a main project initiator behind the NSF-funded Ciencia Pública: Agua and was the Project Director through its completion. Most recently, Eric has taken on the role of Director of Exhibit Development at the museum, where he is working across projects to create systems and organizational models that take advantage of the extremely talented and diverse staff of the Exploratorium.
