EXPLO: We Are the People of the PossibleImagine a place where all of your “what ifs” are transformed into “and thens.” Where what you imagine is met with a “Yes! And…” instead of a “not right now.” EXPLO is that place. Though, we like to think of EXPLO as a mindset rather than something defined by the limits of space and time.Founded in 1976 as a non-profit startup out of MIT, EXPLO has benefitted from decades of entrepreneurial leadership since day one. The mindset that created a community of intellectual adventure beyond academic routine — filled with variety, innovative spirit, and a fusion of fun and learning — has supported EXPLO’s evolution from the first hybrid summer program for high schoolers to a multi-campus summer program for students in grades 2-12 to a sought-after resource for student engagement and innovative teaching and learning worldwide. We are the people of the possible. The kind of people who go on to do things like co-found Buzzfeed and Honest Tea, lead Virgin Galactic, transform the plant-based food industry, and illuminate their home country after a natural disaster. We are Forbes 30 Under 30 winners Inventors of the Year , Watson Fellows, Rhodes and Fulbright Scholars. EXPLO is where we have big ideas; learn to collaborate, fail, and iterate; say yes to opportunities and chart uncharted territory.
