Challenger Learning Center of Colorado

Challenger Learning Center of Colorado

Description: 

The Colorado Consortium for Earth and Space Science Education (CCESSE) established the Challenger Learning Center of Colorado (CLCC). Opening its doors in 2002, CLCC provides a first class space-based learning environment where schoolchildren, families, senior citizens, corporate teams and other community members “fly” simulated space missions. CLCC features a Mission Control Center modeled after the one at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, a Space Transporter and a Spacecraft/Space Station simulator where experiments are performed and probes are assembled and “launched” into the depths of outer space. Summer camps and STEM resources for educators available.
