Students from grades 8–12 were able to step into the world of medicine through our camp, Code Blue: Exploring Medical Careers! 🩺
Campers were able to engage in activities such as first aid, diagnostic techniques, conducting surgeries, and emergency response services. They also learned how the heart works, explored common cardiac issues, and learned about cardiology. This allowed students to get a wide view of the medical world. Campers also had the opportunity to meet and listen to healthcare professionals who shared their real world experiences.
🧑⚕️With hands-on learning paired with mentorship by professionals, this camp gave students a great view into the life-saving work done by medical professions. We partnered with Hole In The Heart to present these health lessons to students to inspire them to continue following their passions.

🔎 Have you ever wondered what it takes to get a brand-new exhibit up and running at Explora?
Many of our exhibits are imagined, developed, and built right here by our talented Exhibits team — and our latest project, Cabinet of Curiosities, is no exception. They`ve been deep in the creative process making something quite strange, delightful, and mind-bending. 🌀🧠
From early research and prototyping to fabrication and finishing touches, the team has brought every illusion and display to life, thoughtfully curating each element and collaborating through every single phase.
