Science Explorers is an innovative, hands-on science company dedicated to providing an opportunity for children ages 4-11 to become engaged in the wonders of science. Whether it’s an after-school program, science summer camp, school assembly, or scout badge earning event, Science Explorers can make science cool and exciting through our interactive, hands-on format. Ever dissect a shark? What about a squid? Have you ever mixed together two liquids to create a solid? Made glowing slime? Examined a real heart? Built and launched your own rocket? Lifted a person using nothing but air? These are some of the awesome experiments that make our programs so popular.

Science Explorers was founded in 1999 by Jennifer Moorehead with a mission to make science fun. Since then we have brought our exciting, inquiry based hands-on science programs to thousands of elementary aged children throughout Southeastern PA.

In 2003, the S.P.A.R.K.S. Foundation, the non-profit leg of Science Explorers, was established in order to provide underprivileged children with the opportunity to experience hands-on science that they otherwise may not be able to enjoy due to socio-economic barriers. Through partnerships with Ametek, Inc. and other generous companies, S.P.A.R.K.S. has been able to affect more than 10,000 children to date by opening their eyes to the wonders of science. “With this program, we’ve seen how we can spark a child’s interest in science and in learning that hopefully they will take with them as they grow. We love seeing the excitement that shows on their faces as they discover new things. We also want them to realize that they can do anything they set their mind to,” says Moorehead.
