Center for Space Education
Event Site | Tuesday, October 27 & Wednesday, October 28
Hosted by the Astronaut Memorial Foundation, the Center for Space Education exists to accomplish the following:
- To foster an understanding of space exploration among young people, teachers, and Kennedy Space Center visitors.
- To inspire the next generation of space scientists, space workers, and astronauts.
The building was dedicated in 1994. The design and construction of the building was funded through the voluntary contributions of hundreds of thousands of Florida citizens who purchased Challenger license plates!
