Amazing Science Adventures Featuring Real Kids

Created by a remarkable 11 year old boy, and hosted by real kids, Exploration Nation travels the country doing hands on scientific research.  These adventures are transformed into exciting mini-documentaries in the style of exciting, action-packed documentaries presenting each program as an amazing adventure in science. Each video is specifically made to educational standards for classroom use and is integrated with complete lesson plans including teachers guide, student guide, activities and more.

The program has attracted the support and interest of NASA, US Fish and Wildlife, Duke Energy, University of Texas, US Geological Survey, New Mexico State University, Texas A&M, and many others. Our young host, Enzo has appeared on Ellen Degeneres, The Today Show, NBC’s KXAN, Time Magazine, Time Warner and in numerous national and local press outlets and has recently been named an International Eco Hero by Action for Nature and received Time Warner’s 2011 STEM Champion Award.

Background

Enzoology Education is the culmination of four years of development based on a singular idea put forth by a then seven year old boy named Enzo Monfre. Originally a web site and series of on-line videos about various science topics, the project has matured into a scaleable model for next generation digital curriculum for in the classroom and at home.
We are dedicated to developing the STEM workforce of the future, promoting STEM learning and conservation principles and supporting elementary and middle school teachers, parents and students. The company produces and distributes original educational programing including video and curriculum programs as well as delivering professional development for educators and parent training.

The organization benefits from some of the foremost academic and business minds in the country – working together to change the way science is taught at the elementary level. Learn More About Our Advisory Boards
