👷♀️ If you’ve visited Explora recently, you may have noticed some big changes happening across the street. Construction for Brillante Early Learning Center is underway!
This new 14,000 sq. ft. space will feature eight classrooms, an atelier, a teaching kitchen, an outdoor art studio, and more. It will provide full-time childcare for CNM student-parents and local working families.
Along the way, Brillante students had the chance to connect their classroom study of building and mapping with real-world experiences. They visited the construction site, made observations, and created their drawings inspired by what they saw. 📝✨
We enjoy watching this new chapter of Brillante take shape!
📚✨ Teachers, make this fall unforgettable with a field trip to Explora!

As part of the AFRL STEM Scholars Camp at Explora, students got hands-on at UNM’s Hand and Machine Lab @handandmachine. 🔬🎨
This two-week camp immerses students in STEAM learning through interactive projects, community-based experiences, and visits with scientists, engineers, and creators making an impact in their fields. 🌎✨
They experimented with cutting-edge tech like 3D printing using hand-made play-dough and tried a machine learning tool that turns simple sketches into 3D-printable objects.
