Challenger Learning Center at Chabot Space & Science Center

Challenger Learning Center Links

Your visit to the Challenger Learning Center is not just a field trip — it's a unique hands-on learning experience, transforming you into a scientist, engineer, or researcher on a simulated space mission, complete with mission control and spacecraft! From the moment of lift-off to the completion of the mission, you become a critical member of one of eight mission teams. Using math, science, teamwork, problem-solving, responsible decision-making, and communication skills, the eight teams work together to complete the mission. Participants will have the opportunity to become both mission controller and spacecraft astronaut.

Whether you are a classroom educator, a youth leader, a human resource manager, or a curious space explorer, we have a program that will fit your needs. Interactive tasks will challenge your thinking, expand your skills, and guide you to new paths of discovery.
