Long Island Explorium

The Long Island Explorium is Children's Museum in Science and Engineering. Our vision is to be a leader in STEM discovery, learning, and innovation that will shape the intellect, social values, and principles of future generations. We provide a cutting edge, inventive inquiry-based learning experiences for students pre-K to G8 and families.

Our programs help inspire teachers to incorporate STEAM and constructivist approaches into their standards-based lessons. Teachers learn how to foster engagement of all learners through hands-on challenges that explore the engineering design process, encourage teamwork, and incorporate career and civic awareness. 

The Explorium professional development programs guide teachers in adopting a constructivist pedagogy, learning the practices aligned within it, and redefining their classrooms or school libraries as mini makerspaces —with simple everyday materials.
