🌍 Youth leading the way!
Last weekend’s Youth Climate Summit at Explora brought together 25 high school students for a day of action, creativity, and collaboration.
From petition writing and contacting elected officials to starting gardens and building homes for pollinators, these young leaders explored real ways to make a difference.
With support from Talking Talons, YUCCA, UNM LEAF, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the summit was a powerful step toward ongoing youth-led environmental action.
Big thanks to everyone who helped make it happen! 🌿💬

Family Science Night: A Celebration of Curiosity, Community, and Pizza! 🍕✨
In the 2024–2025 school year, Explora and APS @abqschools joined forces to bring science to life through a series of Family Science Nights. These interactive events invited families from across the city to explore, discover, and connect through hands-on science activities. These nights focused on more than just experimenting and learning—they aimed to build community. Because of these events, 15,398 students and their families engaged with science in creative, fun ways.
Thanks to Dion’s @dionspizza, over 2,199 pizzas helped fuel the excitement and conversation, and 528 APS staff took part in professional development to continue ensuring deeper learning experiences for students. Additionally, every family who attended received a free one-year membership to Explora, extending the spark of curiosity well beyond the event itself. From food safety discussions to creative facilitation strategies and staff support, Family Science Nights became more than just a night of learning, they brought a movement of connection and possibility.
We are happy to see families able to discover something new together and for kids to see science as something they can taste, touch, and enjoy. Thanks to APS and Explora, these moments will continue to grow!
⚡️A virtual workshop for early childhood educators, librarians, and out-of-school time providers.
