Challenger Learning Center NWI

Challenger Learning Center NWI As Indiana's only Challenger Learning Center, we take kids on fully immersive field trips to space!

As a leader in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, Challenger Center and its international network of Challenger Learning Centers use space-themed simulated learning environments to engage students in dynamic, hands-on opportunities. These experiences strengthen knowledge in STEM subjects and inspire students to pursue careers in these important fields. While seeing classro

om lessons brought to life, students cultivate important 21st century skills like problem solving, critical thinking, communication and teamwork. When students walk into a Challenger Learning Center, they are transported to a cutting-edge Mission Control room and a high-tech Space Station. Whether the mission is flying to the Moon, intercepting a comet, visiting Mars or studying the Earth from the International Space Station, students experience an engaging, dynamic, simulated learning environment. Surrounded by technology, each student plays a unique role in the mission as the team completes assignments, manipulates hands-on labs and copes with simulated emergencies. Teamwork is crucial; if one member fails to complete a job, the entire mission can be put at risk. This differentiated approach allows for a truly personalized learning experience where students apply critical scientific knowledge to real-world scenarios.
