The Challenger Learning Center of Greater Rochester

The Challenger Learning Center of Greater Rochester The Challenger Learning Center of Greater Rochester is part of an international network of 33 centers created to honor the crew of shuttle flight STS-51L.

Our number one goal here at Challenger is to inspire student interest in science and math. When students fly their Mission to Mars, not only do they have fun, but they also exercise the development of their Math, Science, and Technology Process Skills by completing curriculum-based activities aligned with New York State Learning Standards. It's truly a state-the-art facility that utilizes technology unavailable to any classroom. Every single student is 100% engaged in hands-on science activities that help improve problem-solving skills and enhance creative and critical-thinking abilities.
