Project Exploration has provided transformative learning opportunities to over 45,000 Chicago youth since 1999 and our efforts work! A 10-year longitudinal study revealed that our students are 3X more likely to enroll in a 4-year college than their peers, and over 1/3 of PE alumni major in a STEM-related discipline. With your help, we can ensure continued, equitable access to STEM programs and careers for over 1,000 Chicago students this year.

Project Exploration is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization.Your gift directly supports our programs to ensure that communities traditionally overlooked by science – particularly minority youth and girls – can access transformative learning opportunities which set them up for success in school, their future careers, and life.
