🌍 About Us – The Story Behind Excavating Adventures

For the past six years, we’ve been on a mission: to make science the most exciting adventure in a child’s life. What started as a simple idea — to bring hands-on discovery to students everywhere — has grown into a worldwide journey of exploration, education, and unforgettable experiences.

We’ve traveled across the globe, from fossil beds and gem mines to jungles, deserts, and ocean shores. Along the way, we’ve uncovered stories, specimens, and mysteries that we now pack into every Adventure Kit. Each one is built to capture the thrill of real exploration while teaching real science.

Every year, tens of thousands of students dig into our adventures — at home, in classrooms, and in afterschool programs. Teachers trust us because every kit is tied to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and parents love us because their kids are learning without even realizing it. Students don’t just read about science — they collect it, hold it, and live it.

But our mission goes far beyond selling kits.
We are committed to keeping our online adventures free for every student around the world, forever. No matter where a child lives, they can log in, play, and learn without cost.

We also believe every child should be able to hold real specimens and collectible cards in their hands. That’s why we created the Adventure Points Program — students earn points by completing educational quests, and can redeem them for free kits shipped straight to their door.

And we didn’t stop there. We’ve built numerous reward programs for teachers, schools, PTAs, and organizations that support student learning. Whether it’s bonus kits for classrooms, prizes for science fairs, or special school partnerships, we’re dedicated to making science accessible to all.

Excavating Adventures is more than a kit. It’s a bridge between the thrill of discovery and the wonder of learning. Inside each package, you’ll find collectible cards, real specimens, and interactive quests that connect directly to the stories we’ve lived in the field.

We believe every child deserves to feel like an explorer. That’s why we’ve poured six years of adventure, teaching, and discovery into these kits — so your student can open a box and step into a world where science is alive, exciting, and waiting to be uncovered.

Adventure is out there. Let’s dig in together.
