Project Exploration inspires minority youth and girls with the wonders of science and discovery. Founded in 1999 by paleontologist Paul Sereno and educator Gabrielle Lyon to make science accessible, we GET students interested in science, KEEP students interested in science and EQUIP students to pursue science. Our programs target Chicago Public School students who have been low and middle achievers, but who are also curious, open-minded, and passionate; eighty-five percent of our students are from low-income families. Project Exploration sets students on a path to future careers in science. In the last five years...
- 96% of Project Exploration seniors have graduated high school.
- 61% are enrolled in a four-year college.
- 43% of all students and 34% of all females who graduated high school as Project Exploration field alumni are majoring in science.
