Teens are the future!

X Studio is Explora’s new teen center: a place to hang out, experiment, create, and learn. X Studio brings teens and their dreams together with cutting-edge tools, technologies, and mentors — all with a focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math).

X Studio is offering free memberships to all local teens ages 13-19! The all-access membership will include free registration to dozens of workshops, meet-ups, and open use of the makerspace, access to filmmaking platforms, podcasting equipment, a tech lab, and teen lounge.
Teen member hours are Wednesday/Thursday 3:00pm – 8:00pm, Friday 3:00pm – 6:00pm, and Saturday/Sunday 12:00pm – 4:00pm.  Fill out the X Studio Member Interest Form to pre-register and see some of the activities and classes that are offered.
