Branding agency Greteman Group highlighted Exploration Place’s STEM work force focus last month as part of the agency’s annual pro bono project. The project was an animated infographic that highlights the need for STEM expertise and the steps Exploration Place is taking in response.

“We know that math and science sometimes aren’t presented in a way that makes them as appealing,” says Deanna Harms, executive vice president at Greteman Group and a former Exploration Place board member. “Exploration Place tries to weave that into a creative environment, so it doesn’t seem like homework.”
