EXPLORATHON targets a
diverse population from the tri-county area of metro Detroit.
Participants represent over 40 different school districts including
Detroit; the northern suburbs of Fenton, Orion, and Rochester; the western
suburbs of West Bloomfield and Waterford; eastern suburbs of Macomb
County;
southern suburbs such as Lincoln Park, and Riverview. Students
come from public schools,
parochial schools, charter schools and private schools. Provisions are
made to accept students with disabilities and those in wheel chairs. Many
minorities are represented: African American, Asian, Middle Eastern,
Hispanic and ESL students. All are welcome.
The day begins with a keynote speaker
followed by three break-out sessions. Lunch is provided, and the
conference concludes by 1:30 PM so that school buses can return to
their respective districts in time for district dismissal.
EXPLORATHON 2009 is a joint project of
AAUW Birmingham (MI) Branch, Cranbrook Institute of Science, and Detroit Country Day School.
