Faculty + Staff
EXPLO faculty + staff bring wonder to experiential learning
EXPLO faculty value—and foster—creativity, collaboration, and the confidence it takes to try, learn, and try again. They are Pulitzer Prize winners, state Supreme Court justices, founders of social impact organizations, award-winning researchers, New York Times best-selling authors, and so much more. EXPLO brings their talent and passion together.

Faculty + staff highlights
Head of Program, Grades 8+9, Natasha Padilla-Goddard
“Representation matters. For students of color in particular, but also for white students. They read The Hate U Give, and were like, ‘Do you have more like this?’ You can still teach literary skills to students reading a book of their choosing...we need to fill our libraries with books they actually want to read”.
Dr. Andrew Eyre, EXPLO Faculty Member, Director for Medical Simulation at Brigham and Women’s STRATUS Center
"You could...see how much students benefited from the environment, especially if they didn't necessarily fit in at their schools. Being a part of an environment that fostered learning just for the fun and love of education, seeing kids experiment and try new avenues they hadn't experienced before — all of this just felt like a really exciting place to be."
