We work with venues and programs of all kinds - museums, zoos, nature and science centers, universities, memorials, theatres - anyone who needs to reach adults or students in creative, enduring ways that will bring them back time and again.

Wherever we work, we begin with the "dream." After all, we rarely meet clients who don't use that expression to talk about their project. To describe how our Signature Experience® can build your dream, our designs are:

Different and unique to your venue

Relevant now and years into the future

Exploratory and inspirational

Aligned with the venue's mission and the demands of education

Motivational to change behaviors and attitudes AND memorable to insure repeat visits and buzz

When the actual experience is based on a dream, participants return to the venue again and again. The best experiential learning is stimulating, interactive, and truly memorable. It's what Project Explore does best!

Through our Signature approach, we work with venues in four main ways:

1. Because we do not believe,"If we build it, they will come," we assess the need, desire, and practicality of a new program, activity, or exhibit. And, we are completely objective. We evaluate the competition, environment, and culture. If it is a school-aged children's program, we appraise the state standards and connect them to the appropriate grade level for the program.
    
2. With the assessment completed, we can then help you build a"Case Statement," and package the background information so that you can readily seek funding or support for your project. We've found that many organizations, who are trying to"find" money, can't do it without a solid educational framework that fires up funders' imaginations. It's our job to stoke the flames.
    
3. We build innovative curriculum and programming. This includes pre- and post-programming as well. A program is necessary for students (and visitors) if you want to have impact. We also know that teachers must be given the materials and information they need to ensure they have the foundation and the lessons themselves – which they can alter.
    
4. We evaluate others' and our own curriculums and programming using both evaluative and summative processes. We know we must build in teacher involvement. We must be willing to re-invent those parts of the curriculum that somehow may not be exactly right. Teachers are part of our knowledge base throughout the process and we love working with them.
