The aim of Explorers Educate's education programmes is to inspire children to look at Maths, Science and Engineering as a career. We believe in children and know that when you inspire them through adventure and empower them with education you plant a seed that will grow, so that in the future they will care more and act on the things they see and care about. It is important to give them the facts and allow them to see first-hand the impact we have on our planet.
The first few projects we have delivered are based on the work that our founder Benjamin Peters does on conservation, TV and film work around the world. Using Ben's film-making skills we can give the children an understanding of the impact we have on our planet. In the future we will expand the education programmes to team up with other like-minded explorers, who are as passionate about inspiring and educating the next generation as we are.
During the live and current programme, you can book a visit from the relevant explorer to help encourage the children to engage with the programme and inspire greater environmental awareness.

The Last Descent
Explorers: Benjamin Peters and Charlie Head Ben and Charlie made the last ever descent of 1000 miles down the Blue Nile in it's free-flowing state, leaving Lake Tana on the 14th Dec 2017. Paddle boarding their way through fast flowing rapids, past crocodiles and hippos, through the incredibly beautiful yet deadly environment. The students learnt about what impact the completion of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will have on the Blue Nile, the wildlife and villages that surround it. The educational resources were supported by Noah’s Ark and Crocodiles of the World. |
The Great British Reef
Explorer: Benjamin Peters The aim of the programme was to teach children about the amazing underwater environments we have right on our doorstep and why it is important to protect them. Working with several education sponsor’s including Seafish, Marine Conservation Society and Bristol Aquarium the children learnt all about the creatures they can find in our oceans, the impact that we have on our environment and what we can do about it. They also learnt all about the nutritional value of seafood and the fun and delicious meals they can create with it. |
Not On Our Watch
Explorer: Benjamin Peters Within the next 10 years we are facing the total extinction of Africa’s Rhinos. For the first time, breakthroughs in technology and cutting edge sciences may hold the key to turning the tide. The education programme will not only look at Rhinos themselves but will also look at what poaching is, the effects of it and why this happens. Most importantly children will also hear all about what people are doing to help stop the Rhinos from becoming extinct. Together we have a chance at saving this magnificent species and preserving them for the future. |
