2022
2022
2022 was a challenging year, to begin with. But, our small but dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and Board members worked hard on a slow but steady return to pre-pandemic operational levels. We were honored by the Museum Association of NY with a Community Engagement Award for our steadfast commitment to enriching and empowering lives through STEM. Our expertise in Earth and Space Science earned us a prestigious NASA grant, "Reach for the Stars," placing us among only a small handful of US organizations to receive this grant in 2022.
A challenging but robust path forward.
We are steadfast in our mission, and our success is because YOU cared. Thank you.

Who We Are
We are a lighthouse of enriching STEM programs that foster inventive thinking and serve as a catalyst for empowerment. We promote and support STEM discovery, learning, and innovation that will shape the intellect, social values, and principles of future generations.
Why Support Us
The Explorium is a special place because it touches so many lives. The minute a visitor steps into our museum, they enter a world of possibilities, wonder, creativity, and joy. There is no “sweeter” sound than a crying child refusing to leave the Explorium at the end of their visit.
When we bring our enrichment programs to underserved, under-represented communities on Long Island and beyond, we ignite their curiosity, drive their imagination, and remove barriers that perpetuate the gender and minority stereotypes of who can be successful in STEM.
