The Explorer is a self contained 38 foot RV, with a pull-out extension. Students enter the RV for the tour.

The tours are led by the Outreach Specialist using a PowerPoint presentation.

Next, students have exploring time to visit the ten exhibit displays.

Questions are encouraged by our Outreach Specialist.

We limit group sizes to 26 students due to space limits.

Before they leave, students receive Explorer pencils.

A video can be played on one of our

screens.
