What is the Center for Education Through Exploration?

The ETX Center brings science educators, technologists, artists, and ASU faculty and researchers together to design and build cutting edge digital learning experiences. Take a look at one of our projects to learn more about what we do.
The ETX Center was founded on the idea of education through exploration, an approach to learning design that promotes active learning, inquiry, and an emphasis on compelling transdisciplinary questions. Our work involves creation of new learning experiences that embody this idea; training other designers and educators in this way of thinking; and researching the effectiveness of the ETX approach.
