"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."
Walt Disney
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Constructivist Approach
Children are not empty vessels to be filled with knowledge by teachers; but rather continually constructing their own knowledge. Constructivist teaching invites learners to consider socially important, relevant challenges and endeavors.
Fail Forward
Failure is not a bad thing. It helps us to develop ‘GRIT’. Grit is a distinct combination of passion, resilience, determination, and focus that allows a person to maintain the discipline and optimism to persevere in their goals even in the face of discomfort, rejection, and a lack of visible progress for years, or even decades.
Play to Learn
Through play children can learn to make sense of the world around them. Play helps children to develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments.
WHAT OUR PROGRAMS OFFER
For Families and Children:
Our curriculum, exhibits and educational approach are unique by design, developed to spark inventive solutions, build confidence by embracing the “fail forward” concept and foster teamwork through hands-on workshops and activities that pose challenges with multiple outcomes or solutions. Because of this focus on creativity and innovation, the Explorium is recognized as Long Island’s Family Maker Space, a place for families to play, create, build and grow together.
For Students:
Our workshops are smart and fun! We nurture children’s thinking as they work to develop their own solutions to open-ended challenges. STEM workshops include evidence-based writing, career awareness, and civic engagement components. Our distinctive challenge-based programs are built on New York State Science Learning Standards, New York State English Language Arts and Mathermatics Learning Standards, and the National Core Arts Standards.
For Educators:
The Long Island Explorium is a New York State certified provider of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education ( CTLE) credits. Our programs help inspire teachers to incorporate STEAM and constructivist approaches into their standards-based lessons. Teachers learn how to foster engagement of all learners through hands-on challenges that explore the engineering design process, encourage teamwork, and incorporate career and civic awareness.

Janelle Awkward
About me
When my Grand Dad died 15 years ago, he left me a loft apartment in lower end New York. I moved to live in New York and began restoring the loft apartment.
In some old boxes, I found my Grand Dad's analog camera he had been using for ages. This was some kind of sign I recalled and the rest is history.
Enjoy the show.
If you are only going to one exhibition this year..
Then I urge you to visit the new Janelle Awkward exhibition in lower east side New York. Photographs with layers upon layers of visual information. Total brain meltdown once you start analyzing Janelle Awkward's images. The exhibition here in New York was absolutely stunning and I can 100% recommend it.
Absolutely stunning...
Janelle Awkward is on of the best photographers in our lifetime. She is able to capture our complex lives with simple motives. The new show at New York Center of Photography contains some of Janelle Awkward's best photos from her early period and up until 2010.

Let's Meat
A Brand New Dating Concept
Trust, intimacy, soulmates, etc. We have heard all these words before, but why is food not mentioned when we talk about a good love life? If your man can't handle a 32oz. steak or your girlfriend is just picking at the salad, a long term relationship is almost guaranteed to fail. Here at Let's Eat, you can find real people with the right appetite.
Moon Landing for the Rest of Us
A ground breaking DIY e-book about building your own private rocket. This book covers everything you need to know, from rocket building materials to learning the moon alphabet (in case you meet native inhabitants).
The book is fully illustrated and very easy to follow.
We only have a limited amount of this best-selling e-book, so you have to act fast in order to secure your copy.
Guess where I am?
"Let me just say that I have read several e-books about this subject and none of these lead to success. Moon landing for the rest of us is a totally different beast. The guides are so easy to follow and it only took me two weeks to get where I am today. I am now looking forward to the sequel, I simply can't wait to read it."
E-book Content & Extras
Blueprints
Professionel rocket building blueprints. Tired of bad drawings when building complex things? Well, our blueprints are easy to follow and you will be impressed by the finished result.
Rocket Fuel
Build a powerful and long lasting rocket fuel using only ingredients from your local supermarket. Cheap and fairly stable.
Moon Map
Getting around the moon the first couple of days can be tricky. You will get a detailed map of all the key craters on the moon with the purchase of your e-book.
The Iconic Flag
No moon landing would be a real moon landing without the iconic "I was here" flag. Although big when unpacked, the initial size is only 4 x 4 inches.
Communication
On your personal moon map, we have marked a good spot where most smartphones can obtain a good signal. Ask your service provider if in doubt.
Diploma
A luxury printed diploma can be yours if you manage to get back home again from your little journey. The diploma can be delivered in a luxury wooden frame at a small extra cost.
The first 1000 customers will receive a signed copy of "How to get back to earth for the rest of us" once the book is finished and published.
