Try on possible futures
EXPLO 360°
Find your spark.
EXPLO’s creative workshops help you explore opportunities that you weren’t even aware of. From Forensic Biology and Law + Social Movements to 3D Animation for Game Design and the Art + Science of Cooking, you’ll have unedited and challenging experiences that feed lifelong passions—or spark new ones.
Get ready for professional immersion. You'll collaborate with experts in fields you care about; tackle current industry challenges while building your resume; gain experience to highlight in college essays; connect with professionals who can write recommendations; and potentially earn college credit.
Part of the reason I am pursuing science and medicine is because of the experiences I had at EXPLO. For example I remember visiting the STRATUS center where they do simulated medical procedures and that stuck with me to want to go to medical school.

The college writing workshop was ASTOUNDING. The speaker was eloquent and helpful, and her tips were invaluable and provided insight from one who has 'insider info' about the admissions process.
