We're still here for you!

The CLCNWI Crew can't wait until we can safely welcome all of you back to our Center to continue exploring the universe with you in person.

But until then, be sure to keep checking our social media and website for at home activity ideas, urgent messages from our all-star commanders, and updates about our Center. We'll be providing families, students, and teachers with home lesson ideas, kid-friendly and fun science experiments and many more ways to keep having fun while we all stay home and stay safe.

So don't worry, we'll see you all again real soon!

While the kids are away, the aliens will play...

  • 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!

  • We offer summer science experiences that will wow your kids while feeding their brains and exciting them about how they can affect the path our Spaceship Earth will take in the years to come. Summer camps of 2020 will focus on exploring science from all sides!
    We offer a variety of camp options that are stimulating and age-appropriate. All camps are led by educators and provide a safe, fun and thought-provoking experience.

  • 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.

CLCNWI CLOSED TO HELP CONTAIN SPREAD OF COVID-19

Effective Monday, March 16, 2020, the Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana is closed until further notice. All public events, mobile education programs and school field trips are postponed at this time. We feel this decision is in the best interest of our community, guests, colleagues and volunteers and is in line with our regional leaders’ efforts to curtail the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). We will continue to monitor the situation and follow guidance from our local public health authorities. We look forward to the day when we can safely welcome you back to Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana.
