Challenger Learning Center of Northern Nevada

We are excited to announce our new partnership with the National Automobile Museum in downtown Reno. At this location, we currently offer special exhibits, Science Saturday programs, and opportunities for groups to participate in Space Academy experiences tailored to the interests and needs of each visiting class. We are also working, with your financial assistance, to complete construction on our Challenger Learning Center Mission Control and Space Station Simulators to once again offer Voyage to Mars missions.

Your financial assistance can help sponsor a school field trip, purchase hands-on equipment to help students explore STEM careers, and make our goal of operating missions with simulators a reality. Every donation made to the Challenger Learning Center of Northern Nevada helps students of all ages “reach for the stars!”

Challenger Center for Space Science Education is a not-for-profit educational organization created in 1986 by the families of the Challenger 51L Crew. Dedicated to the educational spirit of that mission, Challenger Center develops educational programs worldwide.

The Challenger Learning Center of Northern Nevada (CLCNN) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization working with K-12 students and teachers in the Washoe County School District and throughout northern Nevada.

The CLCNN is overseen by a volunteer board of directors, including astrophysicists, former deans of the medical school, attorneys, accountants, engineers, and former NASA personnel from the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs up through current Mars Exploration missions.

Thank you for your generous support of the Challenger Learning Center of Northern Nevada, formed in Nevada and part of a nationwide network of non-profit centers created by the families of the Challenger astronauts to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education. The CLCNN is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity. As a result, your generous donation may be tax-deductible (pursuant NRS 598). Please check with your accountant.
