Supplement your curriculum with Challenger STEM Programs!
Greeting Teachers!
Challenger Learning Center of Alaska has an exciting scholarship to offer you! The Challenger network is offering this opportunity to schools and teachers who book in-person simulated missions or our new virtual missions to receive a partial scholarship to cover programming. Virtual Missions, Destination Moon and Destination Mars are a visually exciting experience, bringing Challenger's famous space missions to you! They are delivered online and in real-time by Challenge Learning Center Flight Directors. These 1-hour engaging, collaborative experiences are aligned to national education standards and are the perfect program for remote, hybrid, and socially distant classrooms. Even if you are local, these virtual missions are a big hit with students and will be something special to add to your curriculum!
Center Simulated Missions, Mars, Moon, and Lunar, are STEM experiences designed for middle school to high school students. The space-themed simulation-based experiences are also led by trained Flight Directors and take place in a fully immersive Space Station and Mission Control rooms that turn learning into an unforgettable memory. Students assume the role of a NASA professional to conduct research and complete projects to have a successful mission. Both virtual missions and simulated missions have shown students they are capable of great things and inspire them to pursue higher education for STEM careers.
These missions are made available by a grant from Blue Origin's foundation, Club for the Future. Participants must be from the following types of groups: School groups, including public, private, charter, or homeschool groups, Title 1 or rural schools, or an organized/formal non-school group that has a designated group leader (Scouts, STEM Clubs, LEGO Leagues, etc.). Participants must be students aged 8-18, with at least 10 participants. The Simulated Missions scholarship covers $500 per group and the Virtual Mission scholarship covers $200 per group. Missions must be flown by August 31, 2022.
