ABOUT EXPLORER JUNIOR

Nurturing Lifelong Explorers

Explorer Junior is a Singapore-based STEM education organisation helping children understand the world, create with purpose and navigate with confidence.

Through Community STEM and Digital Literacy, we design learning experiences that connect science, engineering and technology with real-world challenges, purposeful creation and thoughtful participation in a changing world.

Understand the world. Create with purpose. Navigate with confidence.

We believe children learn best when they are given meaningful opportunities to investigate, question, create and reflect. Our programmes help young explorers build knowledge and confidence through active learning while developing the judgement to apply what they learn beyond the classroom.

01

Understand the world

Children learn to notice, question and investigate the communities, environments and systems around them. We connect STEM learning to real situations so that concepts become relevant and easier to understand.

02

Create with purpose

Children design, build, code and test ideas of their own. Rather than simply following instructions, they learn to make decisions, solve problems and improve their work through experience.

03

Navigate with confidence

Children develop the critical thinking and digital literacy needed to understand technology, evaluate information and participate thoughtfully in increasingly digital environments.

Our Two Core Pillars

Explorer Junior's programmes are organised around two complementary areas that help children engage with the physical, social and digital worlds around them.

COMMUNITY STEM

Understand the world.

Community STEM connects science, engineering and design with the places, people and challenges around children.

Explorers investigate their communities and environments, ask questions about real needs, and develop and test solutions through hands-on STEM learning.

DIGITAL LITERACY

Understanding, creating and navigating technology

Digital Literacy helps children understand how technology shapes their world, create with digital tools and develop the judgement to navigate digital environments confidently.

Programmes can include computational thinking, coding, artificial intelligence, digital creation and digital citizenship.
