At XSci, we create and research experiential programs.simply put, we live and breathe experiential science. Experiential science learning is all about personal close encounters with the content, processes, and emotions of science. It is a philosophy that emphasizes learning from direct first-person experience and a holistic perspective that includes the self-construction of knowledge as well as emotions, attitudes and beliefs that combine to form a learner’s science identity. This is why we do what we do!
