Explore the New Manufacturing is gearing up for another fantastic year, thanks to our amazing volunteers!
Last year, Explore partnered with 98 manufacturers and 80 schools to deliver action-packed educational activities to improve communication, team building, problem-solving, and STEM skills for middle and high school students. Student and teacher surveys illustrate the critical role Explore’s manufacturing partners play in providing engaging and insightful experiences that energize children while broadening their understanding of career diversity within their local communities. Explore’s unique learning model is strong thanks to our partners, who keep asking what more they can do to help. With a 93.9% retention rate, our manufacturing partners are an important reason why 2024-2025 will be our best year ever!
Opportunities to participate in our 2024-2025 are filling up fast. Contact us today to learn how your organization can participate.
