Tonight, at the Challenger Learning Center in Bangor! 30 Venture Way, Bangor. All ages welcome! Join the Challenger Learning Center, Educate Maine, and the Maine Discovery Museum for an evening of family friendly STEM activities including ice cream science, health science, and space science!

Last Friday, JROTC Cadets learned how to construct and negotiate a one rope bridge using a Swiss seat harness. In addition to navigating obstacles, the one rope bridge can be used as a safety line for river crossings, or a recovery system for people and equipment. This is one of many skills students will learn in next year’s newly added "Life Hacks" course.




It all happened last night....
Our Class of 2025 Coyotes officially left the den and they are ready to take on the world! Congratulations to All!
We are So Proud of You!
