The fifth graders enjoyed an amazing field trip to the Museum of Fligth where they participated in Expedition Mars at the Challenger Learning Center! Students worked as Mission Control and Mars Transport Vehicle teams to complete an exciting hands-on challenge.

The Challenger Learning Center simulation-based learning experience transformed students into NASA scientists and engineers with a single common purpose — the success of the mission! Essential skills including teamwork, communication, problem-solving, reading comprehension, interpreting visual information, and more were put to the test in our mission in search of life and water on the surface of Mars.
