About Relating Research to Practice
Making educational research available to informal educators.
Creating Learning & Teaching Experiences
The Exploratorium provides science learning programs for children and youth from throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Critical to these programs are opportunities for learners to be teachers (just as our programs for professional educators provide opportunities for teachers to be learners).
About the High School Explainer Program
These student employees engage visitors and help run the museum.
Community Educational Engagement
Exhibit-based educational activities and partnerships with community organizations
Building Global Connections
Our world extends far beyond our physical home in San Francisco. We reach out across cultures and continents to build connections with people and institutions in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, China, India, Costa Rica, Mexico, Chile, Panama, Slovakia, Portugal, and many other countries. Through these connections, we broaden our influence on formal and informal learning and help build a strong global community of educators and learners.
NASA-Exploratorium Collaborations
NASA has partnered with the Exploratorium for more than 40 years.
Collaborating with Educational Institutions

Osher Fellows
We bring outstanding artists, scholars, authors, and scientists to the museum as Osher Fellows through the generosity of the Bernard Osher Foundation.
