Title

The Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center

Description

The Space Center is an unique and unparalleled experience that combines both the fun of exploration and learning with a simulated and futuristic adventure story.

Started in 1990, the Space Center began as a classroom experiment by Victor Williamson. Through the drama of space and the fun of learning activities, it was discovered how effective simulation is in education. Starting with nothing more than an overhead projector, Mr. Williamson turned out the lights of his classroom and took his students to the outer reaches of the solar system and beyond. Through this he found that his students not only enjoyed the learning experience, but retained information to a greater extent than conventional teaching.

With the goal to bring this to more than just his classroom, Mr. Williamson sought out various grants and donations to build a more advanced and larger scale program. A grant from the US West Foundation, The Christa McAuliffe Fellowship, along with multiple other donations of personal time were acquired and in early 1990 the construction of the"Voyager" simulator began.
