Challenger Learning Center

Onsite Programs

Challenger Learning Center Missions immerse students in grades 4-12 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  21^st century skills with teamwork, communications and problem solving components within each scenario.  Challenger missions are reserved well in advance by school and community groups. Partnering ISD’s have a period of prioritized registration through September before the calendar is opened to other groups.   

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 should attend missions.

Teachers bringing a group to either a Challenger or Micronaut Mission are required to attend a Pre-Mission Training before their program. 

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
