After preflight preparation, students will visit the hi-tech space mission simulator and work together in teams in Mission Control and the Space Station. During the mission they will collect data for later analysis back in their classroom. Middle school and up. 24-36 students per flight. The two hour missions are scheduled on Monday-Friday, morning or afternoon.
Programs change from semester to semester.
Please ask for the current running mission. Includes mandatory teacher workshop, educational materials and simulated space flight. For funding try your business partners, PTA, SIP, etc. A limited number of subsidized flights are available for classes at Chapter One schools through a generous donation from the Crail-Johnson Foundation. To help teachers prepare students for the Challenger experience, the center has set up pre-flight workshops in the use of these educational materials.
