Challenger Home

Our new Polycom technology opens up a new dimension in integrating Challenger and distance learning technology into your classroom curriculum. If you are a subscriber to Monroe #1 BOCES Distance Learning we now offer a video conference with your students prior to the mission.

Using state of the art distance learning technology, our Mission Commanders will:

• introduce your students to their jobs

• help problem solve some pre-mission activities

• answer questions your students may have

…all live from the Challenger Learning Center!
