At Project Exploration, we empower over 1,200 underrepresented youth in Chicago annually to break through barriers and ignite a passion for STEM. Through hands-on experiences in space exploration, science, and art, we transform curiosity into confidence, equipping young women, students of color, and low-income students with the skills and mindset needed for lifelong learning and future success. Your support creates a lifeline—opening doors to careers in science, technology, engineering, and math that once felt out of reach, fostering hope and dignity for generations to come.

Every year, our innovative programs reach underserved neighborhoods, providing immersive museum visits, mentorship, and real-world projects that inspire breakthrough moments. By partnering with local schools and community centers, we turn dreams into tangible achievements—helping students envision futures in aerospace, environmental science, and engineering. Your donation directly fuels these transformative experiences, making complex STEM concepts accessible and exciting, and empowering youth to realize their potential in a rapidly evolving world.

Together, we are shaping a future where opportunity is equitable and innovation thrives. Your contribution ensures that every child, regardless of background, can explore, learn, and excel—building a vibrant, diverse STEM community in Chicago. Join us in creating a legacy of hope, possibility, and lasting impact—because when you support Project Exploration, you help young minds transform challenges into breakthroughs and aspirations into reality.
