Take advantage of our “Come for the Day” Program. With this program a school can send two classes to the Center on one bus and while one class of students is experiencing the mission simulation the other class of students can use our briefing room to watch a space-related video, work on assignments and projects brought from school, and even eat lunch, before it is time for their mission simulation.

The first class of students, upon the completion of their mission, can then have their lunch, watch a movie, and do their class work until it is time for both classes to return to their school. In this way, two classes can experience a mission simulation for the price of just one bus. Schools, if they wish, can elect to have our staff provide mission-related “hands-on” projects for the students to do when they are in the briefing room for an extra fee.

With or without the staff-provided activities, a school participating in this “Come for the Whole Day” plan should be able to realize substantial transportation savings by eliminating half of the buses it would normally need for its schedule of missions here at the Challenger Center.
