From Curiosity to Careers: Xplore! Sparks the Future of STEAM Learning
Wrexham’s much loved Xplore! Science Discovery Centre has announced their exciting
plans for a multi-million-pound transformation.
The major redevelopment will introduce seven brand new learning zones designed to
inspire and entertain visitors of all ages, with hands on activities that delve into the
world of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM).
Xplore! has placed great importance on the public’s input during the planning of Xplore!
2.0. By working closely with market researchers, they were able to connect with local
residents, families, and visitors to gather their thoughts, opinions, and ideas about the
future of Xplore!
"Xplore! 2.0 represents an exciting step forward for both Wrexham and the broader
region. The centre’s commitment to inspiring the next generation of STEAM
professionals aligns perfectly with our goals at Wrexham University. By fostering
creativity, innovation, and critical thinking, Xplore! is not only enriching the local
community but also creating valuable opportunities for students and young people to explore and develop skills for the future." said Professor Joe Yates, Vice Chancellor and
Chief Executive at Wrexham University.
Get ready for an amazing new adventure!
Xplore! is beyond excited to embark on this transformative journey with Xplore! 2.0.
Ready to take on the challenge, the team is eager to bring new, innovative experiences
to life and create a space that will inspire and educate for generations to come. With a
clear vision and the support of the community, Xplore! is all set to make this bold
expansion a reality.
However, the exciting transformation of Xplore! 2.0 would not be possible without the
support of crucial funding. The redevelopment relies on a combination of public and
private investment to bring these innovative plans to life. With the backing of the UK
Shared Prosperity Fund and ongoing partnerships with local businesses and
stakeholders, Xplore! is poised to create a lasting impact on the community.
As the project moves forward, the continued support of funding partners will ensure
that Xplore! 2.0 becomes a reality, helping to inspire and equip future generations of
thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers in Wrexham and beyond.
Xplore!’s current exhibition remains open, offering unforgettable days out for families,
schools and curious minds of all ages. Visitors can continue to enjoy hands-on science
fun, engaging live science shows and interactive exhibits before the amazing
transformation begins. So why wait? Head on down to Xplore! To experience the magic
