Mission Statement
The primary purpose of the SHS Astronomy Club will be to institute the field of astronomy and astrophysics to interested students. By providing individuals with the opportunity to partake in space-related activities in quantum science, stars, and celestial science, as well as utilizing various astronomical techniques.
Goals & Objectives
The main goal of the SHS Astronomy Club is to provide a platform for all students interested in the given field, to hone a “hands-on” experience, as well as an in-depth understanding of astronomical techniques all advocating for an understanding in the daily work experience of astronomers and astrophysicists.
Lessons/Experiences
The SHS Astronomy Club will offer a variety of life-like simulations, hands-on activities used to shadow professional astronomers, and documentaries as a guide to understanding space and time. Our Club will host numerous intramural competitions to advocate for understanding.
Advantage
While numerous SHS clubs focus on specific aspects of society, Astronomy Club envisions a community of members collaborating on projects, watching documentaries, analyzing celestial bodies, and uncovering the mysteries of the universe. Though we instruct upon analysis and astronomical techniques, the Club will be providing our members with the opportunity for hands-on learning through the completion of a range of simulations, day-to-day astrophysical and astronomical techniques, as well as projects.
