EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION: THE EXPERIENCE OF OUR CLIENTS
Exploration Zones by Exhibit Concepts® is the leading provider of turnkey solutions for interactive, fully immersive education. Since 2003, we have transformed traditional educational institutions, for early learners and beyond, into museum-quality, interactive learning experiences.
Along the way, thousands of children’s lives have been positively impacted and incredible partnerships have been created. But don’t just take our word for it, the power of experiential education is conveyed directly from our incredible partners.
PERMANENT ZONES
Permanent experiential classrooms can be designed within a new building or existing space. These permanent spaces are meant to remain one theme that requires minimal management from staff.
These spaces are built with the quality to stand the test of time and tiny hands. Each immersive space utilizes our custom-themed classroom activity kits and accompanied training, which gives education continuing education units.
Permanent classrooms are ideal for districts with new construction on the horizon, existing spaces that need an update, or if your community is looking for a competitive edge.
CONVERTIBLE ZONES
Convertible classrooms create environments that mimic permanent experiential classrooms’ visual style and design. One key factor separating convertible classrooms from permanent is that these rooms are for temporary use, and display elements must be easily managed by school staff.
The budget-friendly, convertible classrooms still utilize our custom-themed classroom activity kits and accompanying training, which gives educators continuing education units.
Convertible classrooms are ideal for districts facing budget constraints, dealing with limited space and resources, would prefer an expedited roll-out instead of new construction, or if you’re looking to transform existing classrooms.
DESTINATION ZONES
Destination experiential spaces are immersive learning environments designed to be shared amongst the public or multiple schools or districts. These venues serve as hubs for experiential learning, offering students and educators a unique opportunity to engage with interactive exhibits and educational resources.
With a focus on collaborative learning and community engagement, experiential destinations provide a dynamic setting for exploring a wide range of subjects, from science and technology to arts and culture.
These spaces also serve as ideal field trip locations, providing students with hands-on learning experiences outside the traditional classroom setting.
MOBILE ZONES
Mobile experiential spaces, such as literacy or library buses, mobile makerspaces, science labs, and more, are innovative learning environments designed to bring education directly to students’ communities. These mobile units act as traveling classrooms, offering students and educators interactive exhibits and educational resources on-the-go.
Focusing on flexibility and outreach, mobile experiential spaces provide high-quality educational experiences to students regardless of their location. They cover a range of subjects from literacy and STEM to environmental science, ensuring diverse learning opportunities.
These spaces are perfect for districts aiming to expand their educational reach and engage the community through hands-on learning experiences that travel to different schools and neighborhoods.
