The Space Shuttle Challenger crew was dedicated to a mission inspired by education. In 1986, the families of the crew established Challenger Center as a way to honor their loved ones while keeping their educational mission alive. Since then, our STEM programs have inspired and engaged 6+ million students through experiential hands-on learning opportunities.
Help us continue the educational mission of the Challenger STS-51L crew and ignite students’ potential in STEM.
When a student discovers the possibilities of STEM, it opens their world to a lifelong love of learning and opportunities.
