"The Challenger Center mission is right on target when it comes to inspiring our young people to reach for the stars in math and science."

"Challenger was without a doubt the best science experience for the students."

Victoria Day
8th grade Science Teacher

"My preschool class attended a field trip to your Center. I would like to thank you for such a great experience. My students had a wonderful time and 'Ms. Barb' had a great presentation that was geared for the younger student. Your facility is one of the few that offers educational opportunities for the very young. Thank you for your foresight!"

Jean Schubert

"I just wanted to take a minute and say how pleased I was with how the mission went. Thanks to the crew at Mission Control, and to the Challenger for an educational experience closely related to our state standards and district curriculum."

STEM Educator Day Flyer

Educators will experience K-12 STEM Programs offered by Challenger Space Center Arizona throughout the school year. The day includes an introduction to Challenger’s curriculum and a sneak peak into Challenger’s unique simulator (new construction taking place this summer)!

Experience first-hand what your students will learn in Challenger’s interactive space science programs.

Challenger also provides off-site, in-the-classroom programs including a new Mobile STEM Outreach that engages NASA’s BEST (beginning engineering, science, and technology).
Additionally, educators may choose additional professional development days offered at Challenger on a regular basis. The first of each month Flight Directors go in-depth into Challenger’s internationally renowned STEM programs, developed by Challenger Centers for Space Science Education.

Educators may bring up to 3 family members who will enjoy complimentary separate special tours of the museum, exhibits, and activities while teachers experience Challenger’s educational programs. Afterwards, a discount voucher on upcoming Challenger educational programs will be awarded to participating educators. STEM Educator Day is provided to current teachers at no charge. Continuing Education Certificates will be provided (2-hrs) for STEM Educator Day.
