About REBEL MOONS
Rebel Outposts is part of the Seton LaSalle STREAM Initiative. It engages the astronomy and robotics students of our school and gets them excited about what they are learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics classes, while the help tackle real-world problems of space exploration.
Working on solutions to real-world problems is the heart of any STEM investigation. These solutions may include devices and designs that improve our lives, fulfill our needs or wants, and make our world better. From designing a radar system to see through the clouds of methane gas on Titan to testing the possibilities of life within the Mars atmosphere, the opportunity to search for solutions to real-world problems fuels our students’ curiosity and sparks their investigative interests.
Perhaps the most important consequence of students working on real problems is that they begin to develop the 21st century skills that will serve them in their future careers. Skills of innovation, critical thinking, collaboration, emotional intelligence, resilience, leadership and vision are needed for changing global (and inter-planetary) markets. These skills come to the fore with students trusted with the leadership and responsibility of projects that make a real difference in ours and their future.
