Edgerton Explorit Center programming is based on the philosophy of our namesake, Harold "Doc" Edgerton. "Doc" was a native of Aurora known internationally for developing electronic flash photography, strobe light, and side scan sonar. The Center is carrying on "Doc's" legacy by advancing student knowledge in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) subjects. We are changing our future by creating amazing experiences that encourage discovery through play, asking questions, exploration, and using creativity to solve simple problems. Amazing experiences turn into unforgettable learning experiences that can inspire and motivate children to want to learn and explore more on their own. The greatest benefit of our programming is that it fosters a love of learning in students of all ages.
