Transcript of Welcome to Marsville: The Cosmic Village
Exploration is the Essence of Learning!
Challenger Center programs use students' natural enthusiasm for space to create
innovative learning experiences for imaginative young minds.
We're creating a new generation of explorers.
Inspiring. Exploring. Learning.It's our mission.
Challenger Center for Space Science Exploration
In Marsville…
• We believe that Hands On leads to Minds On • We believe that Space is Cool, Science is
Fun and that makes the Learning a natural process
• We believe that many youth excel in the application of technology that may not have excelled in traditional academic application
• We believe that REAL-WORLD application of knowledge makes learning more relevant
• We believe through Marsville we can truly touch the future
• Students are organized into teams of 4-5 students/ 3-4 teams per classroom
• Their ultimate mission is to prepare their team for Link-Up Day
What is Marsville?
