Challenger Center Hawaii an
exciting, hands-on facility which utilizes space exploration as a
theme and enables students to work in cooperative teams to solve
real-life mathematics, science, and technology problems during a
space flight simulation.
The Center is comprised of a
realistic Mission
Control modeled after NASA's Johnson
Space Center and a futuristic Space
Station which provides students
with a simulated space flight experience. The simulated missions run
for two hours and are offered to public and private school students
in grades six through eight. Hawaii's
learning center is part of a growing network of learning centers
which have been established in the United States, Great Britain and
Canada by the Challenger Center
for Space Science Education.
Opened in 1993, Challenger Center
Hawaii is located on the Barbers Point Elementary School campus and
operated by the Leeward District Department of Education.
