National Standards Alignment Information
Challenger Centers pedagogy promotes scientific literacy by
encouraging exploration and inquiry and by exciting young people
about knowledge and learning. Challenger Center believes exploration
is the essence of learning. Our goal is to give teachers the tools
to create a learner-centered environment and to provide materials
that are a framework for embedding subject content in a meaningful
and motivational context. The mission scenarios are aligned with
the educational standards of the State of California.
