| Program Description | This is a special one-day event from the Challenger Learning Center-St. Louis commemorates the Space Shuttle Challenger 51-L Crew who perished on January 28, 1986. During this interactive demonstration and discussion, students will learn about the educational mission of the Space Shuttle Challenger crew. They will also learn about the lives of the individual astronauts on board this history-changing mission – especially Christa McAuliffe, NASA’s first participant in the Teacher in Space program. The presenter, who will be at Cooperating School Districts in St. Louis, MO, will use multimedia to provide students with an understanding of the purpose and content of several of Christa’s “Lost Lessons” and then demonstrate them live. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
