Distance Learning Programs Delivered to Your Classroom (Grades K - 8j)
e-Missions (Grades 4 - 8)
Classes assemble as emergency response teams and then connect via live video link to Mission Control. These live scenarios are conducted in your classroom by a skilled Flight Director at Mission Control from the Challenger Learning Center. Students work together using technical know-how and problem solving skills to navigate through a scenario fraught with crises.

For the 2023-2024 school year, choose from:
- Moon, Mars and Beyond™
- Lunar Outpost™
- Operation Montserrat™

Moon, Mars and Beyond™ | Recommended: Grade 4

Lunar Outpost™ | Recommended: Grade 5
The year is 2036 and a permanent habitat has been constructed near the lunar South Pole. Teams of researchers regularly travel to the moon, making the trek to various outposts to continue the search for critical resources that will both sustain life on the surface and enable humans to travel to the Moon, Mars and beyond. However, when the lives and science goals of an incoming team of researchers are threatened, students are called into action to use their skills and training to save the mission. Can they select a safe, alternative research site, still rich in vital resources, before the crew runs out of time?

Operation Monsterrat™ | Recommended: Grades 6-8
