What do you do for fun? Play video games? Make crafts? Cook? Play with your friends? You can do all of those things—and more-here.

  • Create a memorial to the Challenger crew using pictures that reflect characteristics or accomplishments of each astronaut.
  • Design a new mission patch for the Challenger crew using graphic elements that reflect what the mission means to you.
  • Write an essay on how one of the astronauts has inspired you.
  • Write a newspaper article about the crew and how their mission lives on.
  • Challenger Learning Centers are living memorials to the crew. Design your own living memorial.
  • Create a painting or sculpture that symbolizes the Challenger mission.

Try your hand at some of our online games and puzzles. Or, go low-tech by downloading, printing, and completing our series of experiments, activities, and brainteasers.

Space Station

If you like video games and puzzles, then these activities are for you.

Science Experiments

You don't always need high-tech equipment to perform science experiments. The experiments found here call for things you'll find at home, like tin foil, thread spools, or even mud. So grab a friend, parent, or pet and try out these cool experiments!

Brainteasers

Test your skills with these brain-bending puzzles. (Warning: May cause intense thinking, head scratching, and flashes of brilliance.)
