Challenger Learning Center
Onsite Programs
Challenger Learning Center Missions immerse students in grades 5-12 into the roles of scientists, engineers and astronauts engaging in our state-of-the-art simulated learning environment. Each 90-minute mission experience is aligns to the state’s TEKS and reinforces the importance of expeditionary skills with teamwork, communications and problem solving components within each scenario.
A single mission costs $500/class of 20-34 students. Two teachers or school staff are required for each mission, as the students are in two separate locations during the mission. Up to 8 adult chaperones may accompany the group in missions with 4 in each area. No younger siblings are admitted into missions.
Teachers bringing a group to either a Challenger or Micronaut Mission are required to attend a Pre-Mission Training before their program. Contact Mariana Zoll at mzoll3@alamo.edu for more information.
Any of our simulated missions can also be customized for groups, parties and corporate team building events. Please submit forms to sac-ScobeeCtr@alamo.edu
