Cofounded by paleontologist Paul Sereno and educator Gabrielle Lyon, Project Exploration specifically works to

• Create opportunities for meaningful interactions between science and the public—especially populations least likely to have direct access to science;
  
  
• Equip minority youth and girls with the inspiration and tools to transform their lives by offering opportunities to interact with scientists and hands-on experiences with the wonders of science;
  
  
• Connect students, teachers, and families with authentic science and practicing scientists to support lifelong learning, equal access to opportunity, and scientific literacy.
