Mission Description	Our organization is the premier provider of informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in Southern Colorado. We deliver programs in our facility (on-site), at client facilities (distance-delivered), and support numerous other STEM and career development outreach programs, all with the goal of increasing the pipeline of STEM-interested students to college and employees to industry.

Description	On-site missions: Our primary on-site missions are delivered through our subsidiary, the Challenger Learning Center of Colorado (CLCC). These missions utilize a $2 million space simulator to encourage students to pursue STEM career fields as they apply the lessons they have learned in their classroom to related real-life, time-critical problems in a stressful but exciting environment. Following a thorough educator professional development course, educators deliver a co-curricular unit of study to their students in preparation for the capstone, on-site mission. The lessons are in the areas of science, math, language, and social studies and are all aligned to current Colorado state standards. Students are able to experience the excitement of a challenging career as they work together to solve problems, find success as a team and as individuals, all while discovering why they need the skills they are learning in school.

Description	Distance-delivered missions: Many students in historically disadvantaged regions of the state, regions with high rural, poor, and/or minority populations, never have the chance to experience supplementary STEM education. Distance-delivered missions are one way we strive to reach as many of these students as possible. One way we deliver this supplemental education is through the Internet, where we fly missions similar to our on-site simulations run by a Challenger flight director directly to distant classrooms. A current NASA grant is helping us in this area.	Description

Description	Public education, outreach, and support for other complementary STEM programs: We also focus on reaching learners of all ages and from all walks of life. Many Saturdays each year are busy as we provide programs for Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, the general public, special groups, and even corporate missions. Our Youth Leadership Training uses the entire Challenger mission experience as a motivator for at-risk teens and young adults to learn job application skills. Through a partnership with the US Air Force Academy, we support a wide variety of complementary STEM programs, from robotics to chemistry demonstrations to year-long middle and high school engineering classes.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11:	THE ELECTRONIC VERSION WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE BOARD FOR THEIR REVIEW PRIOR TO SUBMITTING IT TO THE IRS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C:	ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE REVIEWED AND ADDRESSED AT THE ANNUAL BOARD MEETING.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15:	ORIGINALLY AND AGAIN WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS OF OUR PERSONNEL AND THEIR COMPENSATION (SALARY OR HOURLY WAGE PLUS BENEFITS) WAS REVIEWED BY THE HUMAN RELATIONS DEPARTMENT OF ACADEMY DISTRICT 20 SCHOOLS AND FOUND TO BE IN-LINE WITH PEOPLE THEY WOULD HIRE AT COMPARABLE LEVELS OF EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, AND RESPONSIBILITY. IF DISCREPANCIES WERE FOUND, WE PUT IN PLACE A PROCESS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITHIN THE YEARLY JOB PERFORMANCE AND PAY INCREASE CYCLE. WE USE THE DISTRICT 20 SCALE AS A SEPARATE BUT VALIDLY ANALOGOUS SCALE OF COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION FOR OUR PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY STUDY THE TOPIC OF "CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIATION" EVERY YEAR SO THEY CAN ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE BEST CERTIFIED, CLASSIFIED, AND ADMINISTRATIVE PEOPLE IN THE STATE. WE CONSIDER OUR CEO TO A LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN A MIDDLE SCHOOL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AND A PRINCIPAL. BECAUSE OF OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, WE HAVE TENDED TO HOLD THIS TO THE LOW SIDE (ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL) LEVEL. AGAIN, WE USE THE RANGE USED BY ACADEMY DISTRICT 20 AS THE BASIS FOR COMPARISON WITH THE EXACT AMOUNT DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF COMPARABLE COMPENSATION RATES AND LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19:	THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ALL GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST AND LISTED ON THE CHARITABLE REGISTRATION FORM WITH THE COLORADO SECRETARY OF STATE.
FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 5	THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2010 HAVE BEEN RESTATED TO CORRECT AN ERROR MADE IN THAT YEAR REGARDING IMPROPER REVENUE RECOGNITION FOR FEDERAL GRANT REVENUE. REVENUE WAS RECOGNIZED AT THE TIME THE FEDERAL GRANT WAS AWARDED, RATHER THAN WHEN IT WAS EARNED. THE EFFECT OF THE RESTATEMENT WAS TO DECREASE CONTRIBUTIONS AND GRANT REVENUE AND GRANTS RECEIVABLE BY $506,921 AND TO DECREASE THE CHANGE IN NET ASSETS BY $506,921.
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:	THE ORGANIZATION HAS NOT CHANGED ITS PROCESS FOR OVERSEEING THE AUDIT FROM PRIOR YEARS.	AUDIT COMMITTEE:
