Welcome!

If you are a representative of an arts, science or history organization in Sarasota or Manatee counties that is interested in offering an experience (“Exploration”) for Sarasota County School District students, we invite you to join the EdExploreSRQ community. Below are a few simple steps you need to take so that we can learn a little more about you and your organization and the types of opportunities you offer for K-12 students.
