History

Science Explorers began in 1993 when Lori Lenz, Ed.S. decided to use her experience and expertise as a teacher, principal and a college instructor to help children develop their creative and problem solving skills through science. She began with just a few programs, piloting and refining her ideas until she was sure that the curriculum she developed was the best. Since then, Science Explorers has grown to serve thousands of families across the Twin Cities area as well as central and southern Minnesota & western Wisconsin.
