Education

HistoryOn January 28, 1986, seven astronauts began a mission of discovery and education. To the nation's shock and sorrow, their Space Shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff. The Challenger Shuttle may have been destroyed, but the crew's mission to educate and inspire lives on.

The organization had modest beginnings. June Scobee Rodgers, wife of Shuttle Commander Dick Scobee, gathered the families of the other Challenger astronauts around her living room coffee table. They were clear on one thing: no brick or mortar monument for these astronauts.

In Silver Linings, Dr. Rodgers’ memoir of the Challenger accident and its aftermath, she wrote, "The world knew that seven Challenger astronauts died, but they were more than astronauts. They were our families and friends. The world knew how they died; we wanted the world to know how they lived and for what they were willing to risk their lives. So, you see, we couldn't let them die in vain. Their mission became our mission."

The family members resolved to create a living memorial to the Challenger crew—the world’s first interactive space science education center where teachers and their students could use state-of-the-art technology and space-life simulators to explore space themselves.

In tribute to the astronauts’ courage and vision, Challenger Center for Space Science Education was founded and incorporated on April 24, 1986.

Their Goals are: * To increase student interest in and enthusiasm for the sciences, mathematics, and technology; * To improve students’ knowledge and problem-solving skills in these fields; and * To teach students to work in teams and think critically.
