Inspire.
Explore. Learn. The Challenger Learning Center
at Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, WV is
part of a growing network of centers nationwide
established by the Challenger Center for Space Science
Education in memory of the ill-fated Challenger
Shuttle. The center is a unique hands-on learning
experience designed to foster interest in math,
science and technology education.
The facility is a laboratory for spirited teachers
and an exiting learning environment for their students.
With state-of-the-art resources and innovative curriculum,
the Challenger Learning Center launches teachers
and students on a voyage of discovery. Students
and educators work in teams to solve real-life mathematics,
science and technology problems during a space flight
simulation.
The CLC in Wheeling, WV-A
Leader
We opened the CLC at Wheeling Jesuit University
eight years ago. Since then, 100,000 students and
teachers have visited and become inspired. In the
last six years, we have won distinctions each year
such as the "most missions flown", "most
teachers trained," or "most students to
fly a mission". We offer our award winning,
state-of-the-art programs in both our $500,000 space
simulator and, thanks to modern technology, in distant
classrooms. Our new programs can reach into every
middle and high school classroom in North America.
