What is the Challenger Learning Center at Montco Pottstown?
Our Challenger Learning Center at Montco Pottstown is a member of the network of living
memorials dedicated to continuing the education mission of the ill-fated Challenger
51-L Space Shuttle Crew. In general, we offer STEM (science, technology, engineering
and math) field trip experiences and professional development for schools, teachers
and students and public events centered-around space science and STEM topics.
How do I register for a mission?
To register for a mission, complete the online registration form. A program coordinator will be in touch with you to confirm mission details and scheduling
information.
How do I prepare for a mission?
Prior to your mission a Challenger team member will be in touch to discuss STEM-based
pre-mission resources for your students to prepare them for what to expect during
a mission.
How many teachers/chaperones are required for Challenger in-person missions?
For groups sizes of 12 – 36 students, our team requires at least 2 teachers/chaperones from the participating school remain present during the entire mission. For groups sizes of 37 – 72 students, our team requires at least 4 teachers/chaperones from the participating school remain present during the entire mission.
Why is STEM education an important investment?
Beyond the important and exciting plans we have for exploring our solar system, STEM
fields will keep our nation and its citizens safe and healthy. Medical sciences, engineering,
conservation, and sustainability research topics and more all fall into the category
of STEM fields. Ensuring that our students are becoming interested in these careers
is critical to the future of our home planet.
