We are open! On April 17, 2013, the Exploratorium reopened at Pier 15 in San Francisco. In celebration of our big reopening Obscura Digital enveloped our new home in stunning animation, two nights in a row, April 17 and 18.

At our new campus we have tripled our size. We now have 330,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor gallery areas, including 1.5 acres of free-access civic space. With 150 brand new exhibits, over 600 total, three times the capacity for teacher training, four times the space for meetings, workshops, and camps, and the benefit of being accessible from every direction by public transit, our educational reach will dramatically increase. We are located a short 10- to 15-minute walk from San Francisco’s Ferry Building.

SpotOn.it now in NYC, Boston, Chicago & Austin
Yes, we’re totally doing things.
Last June - the idea for SpotOn.it was hatched - a simple calendar plug-in that would turn empty time-slots into wondrous opportunities. We launched our private beta with a small testbed of parents, nervously excited about how they would take to it. Our expectations were blown away with 70% of our test users attending at least one of the events we recommended.Fast forward, 3 months - we launched the redesigned version of the website and got positive feedback on design and ease of use. Going against the grain and *not* creating another mobile app worked! Mostly, we learned what people were falling in love with - the fact that ideas were coming to them instead of having to do the work.
This past February, we graduated from the winter StartX class, and were covered as one of the top 5 startups by the likes of Digital Trends, TechCrunch, Xconomy and even made the cover of Stanford Daily.
60 days later, we’re now ready to announce that we are launching in NYC, Boston, Chicago & Austin. We’ve partnered with a fantastic set of bloggers who’ve created immensely creative wishlists for you to follow. SpotOn.it now has:
Smarter recommendations - for each empty time-slot, you’ll be able to see what you’ve done in the past before seeing your recommendation.
Wishlists - use them for holding ideas before they land on your calendar and to inspire your followers.
Following - there’s always that one person in your community who’s in the know - follow them to stay on top of what’s going on.
And we’re in TechCrunch + PandoDaily!!
