Richland One Celebrates Challenger Learning Center’s 30th Anniversary

Richland One celebrated the Challenger Learning Center’s 30th anniversary during a special program February 11. The center is the only one of its kind in South Carolina and the nation’s first freestanding Challenger Learning Center.

“When we talk about excellence across the Challenger network, this center [Richland One’s] is part of that story. The work you do here contributes directly to the national impact of the Challenger Learning Center as a whole,” said Kevin Harrell, the vice president of education at the Challenger Center headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Over the years, the Challenger Learning Center has grown to include an aerospace education laboratory, an ePlanetarium, a Tuskegee Airmen exhibit, classroom facility, portable flight simulators, articles flown in space (including two shuttle tires and a shuttle tile), exclusive space photos, autographed paraphernalia and a 20-foot art sculpture of the space shuttle. The center also has increased its services by offering hands-on activities, ground school and an AstroTot program designed for students in kindergarten through second grade. Summer camps allow Richland One students and children across South Carolina to build robots, launch model rockets and fly jets in a flight simulator.

To schedule a visit or learn more about the center’s programs and activities, go to www.ChallengerSC.org; send an e-mail to Challenger@richlandone.org; or call (803) 929-3951.
