What if professional development felt more like discovery than a lecture?

About the Exploratorium

The Exploratorium is an interactive digital learning space designed to support inclusive education. Through a 3D model classroom and interactive visuals with embedded hotspots, educators, families, and community members can explore assistive and accessible technology tools, strategies, and resources in context. Users can browse by category or explore more broadly, with each tool supported by clear guidance on the what, why, and how of implementation, along with plans to add real-world stories and videos from Washington classrooms.

 
How To Get Started

To explore the Exploratorium, begin by clicking and dragging your cursor (or swiping on a mobile device) to rotate and move through the interactive image. As you explore, select embedded hotspots to open additional content—such as images, videos, websites, or brief explanations—that provide deeper insight into each tool. Tools are grouped by category on tables to support easy discovery, comparison, and exploration of related inclusive supports.

The Special Education Technology Center (SETC) equips educators and families to create equitable, inclusive learning experiences for students receiving special education or 504 supports through effective use of technology across settings.

SETC is a partner in the Inclusionary Practices Technical Assistance Network (IPTN), collaborating with districts to strengthen inclusive practices and expand meaningful access for students with disabilities.
