SCHOOL MISSIONS

The Challenger Learning Center provides simulated space missions for students in kindergarten-twelfth grade. School programs take place during the school year after the teacher has attended a training workshop and implemented the necessary student curriculum. Micronaut missions (K-4th) provide students the opportunity to travel the Solar System, explore the Discovery Lab, and complete an engineering activity. School missions (5th-8th) allow students to become flight controllers in Mission Contrl and astronauts on board a futuristic spacecraft during their simulated space mission to rendezvous with a comet or take a voyage to Mars. High School missions (9th-12th) build upon the research and lab work that takes place in the classroom prior to their mission at the CLC to rescue an earth-like planet outside our Solar System.

CORPORATE MISSIONS

Corporate missions provide a unique opportunity for businesses and professional organizations to develop communication, problem-solving and teambuilding skills outside of the typical employee workshops and conferences. Employers can choose between a four hour corporate trainer or an eight hour corporate developer.

PUBLIC MISSIONS & PROGRAMS

Throughout the year, the CLC conducts public programs. Past programs have include Parent-Child Rocket class, Fly Your Sweetie to the Moon, and Good Movie, Bad Science Nights. These programs are geared towards a variety of audiences and available to anyone interested in participating.

Social missions are great for birthdays, reunions, or any organization looking for an out-of-this-world group activity.
