🚀 ALL SYSTEMS GO: It’s Give STL Day!
Today, we’re joining thousands of St. Louisans to support the causes we love. At the Challenger Learning Center-St. Louis, we believe every child deserves the chance to spend their summer exploring the cosmos—regardless of their financial circumstances.

Our Mission Today: Funding the Future.
We are seeking donations specifically for our Summer Camp Scholarship Fund. These scholarships ensure that local students can trade a typical summer for an extraordinary one—training as astronauts, building and flying drones, and solving real-world lunar challenges.

The mission starts with YOU. Every dollar donated to our scholarship fund directly translates into a seat at the console for a curious kid this summer. 👨‍🚀👩‍🚀

Amazing! Our first trip back to the moon in over 50 years has resulted in some beautiful imagery of our closest celestial neighbor. The Artemis II crew did a phenomenal job yesterday collecting data from their flyby and collaborating with the science team in Mission Control. Great job! NASA Artemis

As Artemis II prepared to launch we spent the day with the next generation of innovators, creators, and explorers. Ferguson-Florissant School District First graders from Duchesne Primary came and explored the roles of astronauts and engineers with us by traveling to the International Space Station and building and launching air-powered rockets! 🚀
