  • We here at Challenger take great pride in our community engaging public events!

    As the only Challenger Learning Center in the state of Indiana, we offer a unique variety that is second to none. Informative, exciting and adventurous, our well-known public events are always out-of-this-world!

  • When students walk into a Challenger Learning Center, they are transported to a cutting-edge Mission Control room and a high-tech Space Station simulator. Whether the mission is flying to the Moon, intercepting a comet, visiting Mars or studying the Earth from the International Space Station, it’s an unforgettable learning experience they’re sure to talk about for years to come!

  • Experience space and STEM within the beauty and comfort of your own home with STEM activities hand-picked and demonstrated by the CLCNWI Staff! From composting to slime, we have all the fun science experiments your young learner could ever want!

  • Bring your space explorers to experience the magic of the night sky as well as a variety of entertaining and educational shows under the dazzling display of the Robert H. Rivers Planetarium. Our 40-seat, full-dome theater has show options for groups of all ages. Check out our laser shows which are highly entertaining and energizing, featuring music for all kinds of tastes (U2, Led Zeppelin, Justin Bieber) set to a visual treat for your eyes.
