🌟 Special Guest Alert! 🌟

We were excited to welcome Rachel Kronyak from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to our Center today!

Lucky students from Cavallini Middle School in Saddle River, NJ had a special guest on their mission. Rachel is a Systems Engineer working on the Perseverance Rover mission currently exploring Mars! Rachel's role is guiding Perseverance’s mission to search for signs of ancient microbial life on Mars- just like student's experience on the Expedition Mars mission!

And, not gonna lie, our staff was pretty excited for the opportunity to meet Rachel too!

You know camp is right around the corner when the Junior Commanders are back in the building! 🚀

This week, our Junior Commanders gathered for their pre-camp meeting and training, officially kicking off preparations for an amazing summer ahead. These dedicated high school students play an important role in helping our camp run smoothly, serving as leaders, role models, and friendly faces for all our campers.

We are incredibly proud of this group of 12 young leaders. Many of them started their camp journey as campers themselves, and now they are returning to give back to our Center where they created happy memories and lasting friendships. 💫

They are excited to welcome campers, build connections, and help create the fun, laughter, and lasting memories that make our camp so special. We can't wait for Summer Camp!

☀️Tomorrow, the Buehler Challenger & Science Center is participating in a continuous mission that will connect us with other Challenger Learning Centers across the nation!

As the sun rises from east to west, each Center will complete a portion of the mission and hand off virtually to the next Center in line. By the day’s end, the mission will have “followed the Sun” across time zones, uniting students and educators nationwide in one collective journey. Students will learn how interconnected efforts—like mission handoffs—mirror real-world space operations and global STEM collaboration.

Let’s “follow the Sun” into a new era of discovery!

Happy birthday, ! 40 years ago today, in the aftermath of the Challenger STS-51L tragedy, the families of the crew established Challenger Center as a way to honor their loved ones while keeping their educational mission alive.

Today, as a network of 32 Challenger Learning Centers across the country, we have reached 6.5 million+ students in the past four decades with our immersive STEM programming. Together, we deliver unforgettable learning opportunities that boost STEM literacy, empower communities, inspire future careers, and leave a lasting legacy for generations of learners.

But we’re just getting started—our next 40 years of discovery start today. To learn more about our school and summer camp programs, contact our Mission Services Department at 201-262-0984 or visit us online at www.bcsc.org.
