Thank you for helping us provide a FREE day of hands-on learning, creativity, and discovery for families across our community. Your investment in STEAM education is making a lasting impact on young minds.

✨ Please join us in welcoming Lauren Good Hickerson as our new Guest Services Associate! The Exploreum is happy to have you, and we’re excited for our guests to get to know you. ✨

Meet Lauren!

I have been a CLA volunteer since 2018 and I serve on the Governance Committee. It has been so fulfilling to see the Exploreum open after planning for so long! Some of my favorite things include playing saxophone, old lady crafts, the KC Chiefs, and my two dogs, Luna and Albus. You will probably see me at the Exploreum playing or singing along to music or enjoying the Pendulum Wave.

Welcome to the Exploreum family, Lauren! 💙🔬✨
