Challenger Learning Center of Alaska receives $25,000 donation from Tesoro
by Michelle Saport |
The Challenger Learning Center of Alaska (CLCA) announced today it has received a $25,000 donation from the Tesoro Alaska Company to support 25 fully funded space-simulator missions for area students in the 5th and 6th grades. This donation follows similar monies presented to CLCA for the past six years. As a direct result of Tesoro's generosity, approximately 5,500 students will have participated in our hands-on, minds-on programming throughout the seven-year period.
CLCA's vision is for every school in Alaska to experience the wonders of education through its simulated space missions, e-Missions, workshops and outreach opportunities each year. This funding from Tesoro will assist in encouraging students to pursue higher educational goals and opportunities that will better prepare them to successfully compete in the 21st century global marketplace.
It is only with the support of organizations like Tesoro that CLCA can continue its mission to inspire students to look beyond the ordinary, imagine the unattainable and answer those seemingly impossible questions through the pursuit of higher education in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
