People will tell you Dave Hamilton is the most creative person they know. He began his college life as a Engineering Physics major. Late one night, while forging a mobile out of rebar and a recycled 50 gallon oil drum, he realized his true calling was art and, soon after, transferred to the Rhode Island School of Design. He started with EXPLO in 1997 teaching Darkroom Photography and Sculpture. Since then he has done all manner of work from being the Director of Publications, to designing and building street luges, hovercrafts, rocket launchers, a mousetrap powered Ferris Wheel, even a kit that allows students to practice installing a stent for a medical course. Daveís latest endeavor is heading up EXPLO Studio where he and his team use humble classroom materials (index cards, paperclips, elastic bands) to develop innovative STEAM courses used with students in schools around the U.S. and with educators in professional learning workshops and camps.
