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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
