自 1998 年以来，惠灵耶稣会大学挑战者学习中心和教育技术中心的教育工作者创建了真实的科学和医疗紧急情况现场模拟，学生扮演宇航员、科学家或医生来解决 STEM 问题，例如诊断疾病、阻止流行病、选择安全的航天器着陆点以及营救受困的宇航员。这些时长 90 至 120 分钟的模拟电子任务通过视频会议在教室进行，配套网站提供任务前准备、补充资源和教师教程。电子宣教已在 50 个州和 22 个国家的学校使用超过 11,000 次。超过 310,000 名中小学生扮演了 STEM 专家，10,000 名教师接受了技术使用和基于问题的学习培训。创建较短的实时任务 e-Labs 是为了在 3-9 年级的课堂上展示科学主题，而 e-Labs Jr 则为 K-3 做同样的事情。模拟和电子实验室是在机构、基金会和公司的资助下开发的，并通过学校为每个电子任务支付 400 至 550 美元，为电子实验室支付 200 美元来维持，通常年复一年地作为相关课程的最终活动。在过去 20 年里，我们获得了超过 500 万美元的收入，用于支持这些创新 STEM 体验以及软件和硬件更新的持续交付。评估发现电子使命学生对科学和科学职业的态度和看法发生了积极变化。
Since 1998, educators at Wheeling Jesuit University’s Challenger Learning Center and Center for Educational Technologies have created realistic live simulations of science and medical emergencies in which students act as astronauts, scientists or doctors to solve STEM problems such as diagnosing diseases, stopping epidemics, picking a safe spacecraft landing spot, and rescuing stranded astronauts. These 90 to 120-minute simulations, e-Missions, are video-conferenced into classrooms, with companion websites providing pre-mission preparation, supplemental resources and teacher tutorials. e-Missions have been used more than 11,000 times at schools in 50 states and 22 nations. More than 310,000 elementary, middle and high school students have role-played STEM experts, and 10,000 teachers were trained to use technology and problem-based learning. Shorter live missions, e-Labs, were created to demonstrate science topics in 3–9 grade classrooms, and e-Labs Jr do the same for K-3. The simulations and e-Labs are developed with funding from agencies, foundations and corporations, and are maintained through payments by schools of $400 to $550 for each e-Mission, and $200 for e-Labs, often year after year as culminating events for relevant curricula. More than $5 million dollars have been earned over the last 20 years, supporting the sustained delivery of these innovative STEM experiences, and software and hardware updates. Evaluations have identified positive changes in e-Mission student attitudes and perceptions toward science and science careers.
