Reviews

“Very grateful for Explorer Hop courses. This one was great for the young kids, keeping them engaged while they were in class, and inspiring them to work on their project for the rest of the day.”

“Very unique that Explorer Hop combined elements from the math curriculum with board games. Students were applying math while using their creative thinking. Incredible!”

“It was not only fun for the students, but it was fun for me as well! They provide parts of the board game for you to customize and create, I felt like a kid again trying to figure it out.”
