With help from U.S. Senator Gary Peters, St. Clair County Community College (SC4) has received $955,000 in federal funds to support STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning opportunities at SC4’s Challenger Learning Center and Experience Center.
Senator Peters and his staff recently toured the Experience Center and Challenger Learning Center, joining over 2,500 people who have visited the center since its launch in April 2022.
One of 40 across the country and the only one in Michigan, the Center provides visitors with a space-themed, simulated learning and role-playing experience that teaches them about STEM careers and cultivates problem-solving, critical thinking, communication and teamwork skills.
The center offers groups of all ages opportunities to join, such as the open mission scheduled for February 18, STEM camps in the summer, and group missions of up to 34 guests.
The almost million dollar grant will be used to provide greater opportunities.
