By: Joey Blackwell

After two years of planning, the Challenger Learning Center of Northeast Alabama broke ground on Tuesday. The center will be a state-of-the-art STEM center in Rainbow City serving middle-school students in northeast Alabama with space-themed missions and learning activities that complement classroom instruction.

The new center will be at 1986 Challenger Way in Rainbow City, across the street from the Rainbow City Mega Sports Complex.

“It’s a great day here in Rainbow City to celebrate the launch of a landmark place of learning for northeast Alabama students,” Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said. “This special event is not just a groundbreaking of a new building, but the planting of seeds to sprout high-tech careers for thousands of Alabama young people.”
