Don't expect to see desks, chalkboards, or encyclopedias when you visit the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky. Instead, you will use workstations to do experiments, computers to do research, be an astronaut in the space station, be a technician in mission control, communicate with your teammates using a headset, and use video panels to monitor your classmate's activities while they work up in space. Sound like fun? You bet it is!
