On September 7, 1995 we opened our doors to honor the late Doctor Harold Edgerton. “Doc” Edgerton, a famous inventor and “tinker-er”, grew up right here in Aurora, Nebraska. While serving as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Doc was often heard saying “If you don’t wake up at 3:00 AM to start testing your ideas then you are wasting time.” Although we don’t open at 3:00 AM we are here for you to get your hands busy and start testing your ideas.
The Edgerton Explorit Center carries on the legacy of Doc Edgerton by providing you with exciting experiences for hands-on learning. To learn more about Doc Edgerton please visit the Strobe Alley section of our site.
