 Science Education Student Science Enrichment Program Swain County Schools Program Project EXPLORE, a school year program for twenty-five Swain County High School students, introduces participants to different fields of science through a variety of activities including inquiry based lab and field experiments, field trips, contact with scientists and other professionals who work in associated career areas, college visits, museum visits, and community-based service projects. Project EXPLORE takes place during the academic year after school and on weekends.

Featured activities include a forensics investigation, a roller coaster physics project, a computer building project, an adventure trek orienteering course, an ozone bio-monitoring garden, an astronomy activity, a robotics project, and a marine biology coastal encounter.
