Who is Will Hatch?
“Children's ministry is the most futuristic and strategic ministry of the Body of Christ.”
Will Hatch is a unique speaker, educator and presenter. He's traveled throughout the United States, educating tens of thousands of children and young people in areas of personal value, geography, chemistry, physics, light, video and audio production. After establishing a children's museum in an East Texas community, he went on to develop a mobile children's interactive science program, introducing youngsters to science through twelve "hands-on" science exhibits. This "mobile museum", consisting of 12 portable exhibits, was one of the very first in the nation to bring the science museum experience into school gymnasiums, serving rural, suburban and urban communities. To date, this "Explore Museum" has visited hundreds of schools in over 30 states and interacted with more than 400,000 children, parents and educators. It's success led the "The Explore Museum" to become a part of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs of the University of Texas.
