IT'S OUR
MISSION!
CHALLENGER LEARNING CENTER OF ALASKA is a non-profit corporation that opened in April 2000. We are the 39th of 52 centers in the Challenger Learning Center for Space Education international network. This is a network created in 1986 by the families of the astronauts lost in the Challenger 51-L mission. The purpose of this network, is to continue that crew's aim of engaging students in the study of science, math and technology. We are here to inspire the next generation of young minds to excellence in math, science & technology.
Our Mission
The mission of the Challenger
Learning Center of Alaska is to inspire students to look
beyond the ordinary, imagine the unattainable and answer
those seemingly impossible questions through the pursuit of higher
education in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Our Vision
Through the medium of a dynamic
hands-on space exploration simulation, students
are encouraged to
pursue higher educational goals and
opportunities that will better prepare them to
successfully compete
in the global market place.
