  1. Challenger Mission June 8, 2010 Paramus, New Jersey

  2. On June 8, 2010, the Challenger Committee from the Central Intermediate Unit # 10 visited the Buehler Challenger & Science Center in Paramus, NJ. The purpose of the trip was for the team to experience an actual mission and to collaborate with leaders and staff members with the intentions of developing an understanding of a Challenger Learning Center. The team’s goal is to help support the educational programming of a Challenger Learning Center through the YMCA of Centre County. In conjunction with the mission of the YMCA of Centre County, the planning team is dedicated to constructing and developing a Challenger Learning Center. The goal of the committee is to help plan positive educational experiences in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Educators from each of the 12 school districts in Central Intermediate Unit # 10, a number of educators from Penn State University, and a team from the YMCA of Centre County have volunteered to help provide their professional expertise in promoting the excitement of space exploration and positive learning experiences with a strong Pennsylvania standards based emphasis.
