My name is Laurent, and I’m the founder of Xplor Academy – "The Curiosity Lab". After fifteen years in the chemical industry in Paris and five years as a Branch Manager in Mexico, I took a bold new direction when I moved to Norway. Driven by a lifelong passion for world maps, history, cooking, science, and playful learning, I built Xplor Games from the ground up. Today, I lead interactive workshops designed to spark curiosity through hands-on, engaging education. Studies show that curiosity — which peaks in children under the age of 5 — tends to decline with age, especially after late adolescence. That’s why it’s so important to nurture it through play and a sense of wonderness.
Welcome to the world of Xplor:
– Xplor Games – educational games like Xplor World and Xplor Poles, designed to ignite curiosity.
– Xplor Workshops – sensory, cross-disciplinary experiences hosted in schools, libraries, and activity centers. From nutrition and the five senses to chocolate, molecular gastronomy, animals, and quizzes – there’s something for everyone.
– Xplor Education – guides and resources to support teachers and parents.
– Xplor Books – a new series on nutrition, currently in development.
Xplor More, and Stay Curious!
