Reporting for Kids at the Exploratorium

  • Kanbar Forum, Exploratorium 82 The Embarcadero SF, CA, 94111 United States (map)

Budding reporters will learn the ropes from Times journalists, venture into the museum to gather facts and ultimately create their own front page. It’s sure to be a memorable day, guided by Caitlin Roper, editorial director of The New York Times Magazine Labs; Amber Williams, editor of The New York Times For Kids (a special print section that runs the last Sunday of every month); and the Explainers of the Exploratorium — a playful learning laboratory at the apex of science, art, and transformative education. After the kids attend a brief Times-led workshop, they can begin their reporting. They’ll have the opportunity to create their own front page in our on-site kids’ newsroom, open until 12:30 p.m. 

The Family Pass includes day-long access to the Exploratorium for up to two adults and two children, but the science-reporting program, designed for children ages eight and older, is optional for adults. Continue fueling your curiosity exploring the museum’s more than 650 hands-on exhibits.
