The Long Island Explorium

The Long Island Explorium (f/k/a the Maritime Explorium & Children's Maritime Museum) was launched in 2004 by a consortium of scientists, educators, and entrepreneurial residents seeking to provide a rich educational STEM experience to the Long Island community. In May of 2005, the Long Island Explorium was designated as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit and was chartered with the NYS Dept. of Education. Because of this focus on creativity and innovation, the Explorium is recognized as Long Island’s Family Maker Space, a place for families to play, create, build and grow together. Today, the Explorium continues to expand its programming to include professional teacher development and training to meet the goals of the Next Generation Science Standards in NYS. The Long Island Explorium is a New York State certified provider of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education ( CTLE) credits.
