Want to put your skills to work at a museum that blends art and science? Apply to be an Exploratorium High School Explainer!

Explainers help visitors engage with the Exploratorium's exhibits, lead daily demonstrations, and help run the museum's operations. Increasingly, Explainers also provide multilingual explanations and support for visitors. Sometimes, experienced Explainers participate in specialized internships, and some work in study groups.

Students who are accepted come from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, and interests. Some Explainers are knowledgeable in the sciences while others may display strong public relations skills. The program directors look for students who have a spark for learning new things and a desire to work with people.
