We believe the future of our communities, economy, and workforce depends on how we invest in youth talent today.

Our mission: To build a diverse, future-ready talent pipeline by equipping young people with the tools, mentorship, and real-world skills they need to succeed in tomorrow’s workforce.

About EXPLR

At the heart of EXPLR is the National STEM Festival—our flagship platform to discover, develop, and elevate the next generation of innovators. Through a combination of a national event and year-round digital programming, we connect students with the skills, mentorship, and opportunities they need to succeed in school, in life, and in tomorrow’s workforce.

Rooted in our Future-Ready Skills Framework, we deliver virtual and hands-on learning experiences that help students earn credentials, build real-world problem-solving abilities, and explore career pathways in partnership with industry, education, and government.
