On-Site Missions:
The Dream of Space Travel Comes Alive
Many children dream of exploring Space. The Challenger Learning Center brings that dream to life. When classes of students visit a Challenger Learning Center, they climb aboard a space station, conduct scientific experiments, and work together to solve problems.

During CLC missions, students return to the moon, voyage to mars, or rendezvous with a comet. Students in Mission Control direct the critical activities of the students on board the space station-navigating, maintaining life support systems, communicating, or conducting research. The students experience the critical thinking, leadership, cooperation, and problem solving challenges necessary for mission success.

e-Missions

The Challenger Learning Center at Wheeling Jesuit University has developed an innovative program for digital learning which links providers within a national network to classrooms around the world. This program, dubbed the “e-Missions”, provides teachers with an all-inclusive package comprised of teacher professional development, curriculum aligned with state and national standards, a live “mission” via technology, and an embedded assessment. This program was designed around best practice modles and principles derived from the latest educational research.
