EXPLO Alumni
EXPLO alumni keep asking the best questions
-
How can we reduce unemployment among college graduates of color?
-
How can we bring life to a historical figure onstage for a modern audience?
-
How can we decarbonize supply chains and enable businesses to measure their environmental footprint?
-
How can we know what the surface of Mars is like before we go there ourselves?
-
How can we use technology to instantly connect people across the globe?
EXPLO gave me aspiration. Aspirations frustrate me along the path, make me think of what else I can be doing, and then create drive—that all started at EXPLO.
We are EXPLO alumni
Here are just a few examples of our amazing Alumni.
