Touching the Future

Using space as a theme, our programs get students excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

I had an excellent time at the Challenger Center. I got to be the Navigator. The hardest part was when I had to find the exact spot to launch the probe. At first, I thought it was going to be easy. Then I realized it was really hard. When it was done, I knew my class had done something very difficult, and that we had worked together to accomplish it.
