About Project Exploration

Based in Chicago, Project Exploration is a community organization focused on STEM education for underrepresented youth.

Programs serve communities on Chicago's South and West sides, including Austin, Bronzeville, Kenwood, East Garfield Park, Gage Park, Douglas, Lower West Side, Near West Side, and Back of the Yards. Project Exploration also supports the Chicago STEM Pathways Cooperative, which brings stakeholders together through collaborative programs to address barriers to STEM education and careers.
