October Fun at Explore More!

From pumpkins and paint to spiders and webs, it's been a month filled with discovery and (often messy) hands-on learning!

Our preschoolers got creative with pumpkin painting, while Maker City kids tackled the Great Pumpkin Experiment!

During our School's Out session, we explored the amazing strength of spider webs, experimented with invisible ink and colorful chemical reactions, and even wove our own webs to catch insects!

Just a little peek at what we've been up to this month, and it's not over yet!

We're excited to officially welcome Giardina Orthodontics as Maker City's new Annual Partner! 🎉

For seven years, Maker City has given young creators a place to explore new interests and bring their ideas to life. Partnerships like this help us keep the space stocked with materials, equipped with tools and technology, and accessible to families throughout our community.

As a local business owner and mom of two young children, Dr. Giardina understands the importance of giving kids opportunities to discover their potential. We're delighted to have her support and enthusiasm behind Maker City!

Get to know Dr. Giardina! In our latest Sponsor Spotlight, she shares a little about herself and what inspired her to partner with Explore More.

🦉 WILD ABOUT WILDLIFE!

Our second School’s Out day took us on a fascinating exploration of Virginia’s wildlife!

Our young explorers learned about native birds of prey, dissected owl pellets and put their creativity to work designing animal-proof trash cans to help keep wildlife safe.

We wrapped up the day with a special virtual visit from the Wildlife Center of Virginia, where we met their American Kestrel ambassador!

A big thank you to the Wildlife Center for helping make our day extra special!

SUPPER CLUB IS BACK!

What a wonderful time we had at our first fall Supper Club! Our young chefs rolled up their sleeves to make parmesan cauliflower, muffin tin lasagna, and watermelon blueberry salad, then gathered around the table to enjoy their delicious creations with new friends.
