| Facility: | Columbia Memorial Space Science Learning Center |
| Description: | While planning for the learning center is still in early stages, following are some of the components that visitors to the learning center may find. A Challenger Learning Center, featuring an exciting simulated space mission. Students will work in teams at Mission Control and aboard a Space Station as they test their decision-making skills, solve problems and communicate by alternative means during this innovative space-themed science and math lesson. Teachers will use both pre- and post-flight activities that integrate the experience into traditional classroom instruction. At the Space Science Discovery Zone, visitors will find a variety of interactive exhibits that help them explore subjects such as the principles of flight, living in space, the search for life beyond earth, and the origins of the universe. The Mars Robotics Lab will allow young visitors the opportunity to design and program their own robots in order to complete a remote exploration mission to the planet Mars. Aerospace Resource Center and Research Library: In conjunction with the Aerospace Legacy Foundation. We are currently cataloging hundreds of artifacts and records left in place at the former NASA site. These will become the core of a research archive which will specialize in the history of aviation and aerospace development at the Downey site. An oral history project is also planned to help capture a historical perspective based on personal experiences of those who worked at the site. Historical Displays will help to tell the story of the men and women who contributed to the spirit of invention and innovation that drove the development of the aviation and aerospace in Downey, Southern California, and beyond. |
