About Challenger Learning Center of Alaska

The Challenger Learning Center of Alaska is part of an international network of more than 40 Challenger Learning Centers spearheaded by Challenger Center. Founded in 1986, Challenger Center was created to honor the crew of shuttle flight STS-51L and its mission to provide students with a hands-on, space-themed learning experience that encourages exploration and discovery of STEM subjects. Our center strives to make these opportunities accessible to hundreds of thousands of students and tens of thousands of teachers each year. At the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska, we are proud to be part of the global network envisioned by Challenger Center. Our goal is to inspire students of all ages to pursue STEM-related careers that will shape the future of our world. Our simulated learning environment engages students in dynamic, hands-on opportunities to strengthen knowledge in STEM subjects, while honouring the legacy of the heroic crew of shuttle flight STS-51L.
