Challenger Classroom Adventures: Aquatic Investigators
Challenger Classroom Adventures: Aquatic Investigators
Instructors - Serena Gayles and John White
The Commander of an undersea lab informs the students that Eric and his fellow Hawaiian monk seals are missing from their usual home in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The Commander asks the class to investigate why seals left their home and determine the possible location where scientists should look for them. As they work to find the answer, a seaquake takes place damaging the undersea lab and putting the crew at risk. The team must work together to quickly repair the lab and ensure the safety of the crew. When the crisis is averted, the group returns to continue their search to find the missing Hawaiian monk seals.

Destination Mars
Destination Mars
Instructors -Serena Gayles and John White
- Researchers are ready to explore Mars, but there’s one glaring problem - more than 40 million miles separate Earth from the Red Planet. This distance makes it impossible to travel back and forth between the two planets while completing our research. We need to build a base on one of the Red Planet’s moons, Deimos or Phobos, that will allow us to send a spacecraft to the surface of Mars and back in the fastest and safest way possible. Student teams will select which moon is best to build a base by analyzing three sets of data collected by rovers on Deimos and Phobos.
Post-visit activities will be shared via email after the program!
