e-Mission: Operation Montserrat

The giant awakens and the skies darken as ash and soot rain down on a remote tropical island. The ticking time bomb dormant for many years has awakened and residents of Montserrat Island worry about their fate. As the erupting volcano’s lava begins to devastate the countryside, Challenger Space Center scientists learn a hurricane is approaching. During this process of data transmission about the volcano and the hurricane, a satellite gathering the vital life-saving data malfunctions. With disasters looming, Challenger Space Center scrambles to assemble a team of specialists to assist the island’s residents.

Is Your Team Ready for the Challenge?

Operation Montserrat, a new distance learning electronic mission, connects a Flight Director at the Challenger Space Center with a conference room anywhere in the world for a unique learning and teambuilding adventure. With the held of computers, the Internet and a small video camera, participants interact with a Challenger Flight Director to track a hurricane, predict volcanic rock fall and determine how to safely evacuate the island’s residents. Operation Montserrat actively engages individuals to work together in order to solve problems in real-life situations.

This fast-paced, high-drama simulation allows individuals to participate as Earth systems science experts during this three-hour mission. Operation Montserrat emphasizes teamwork, problem solving, decision-making and communication skills that are critical to your organization. Team members will be faced with life-threatening emergencies that must be solved through collaboration with their colleagues.

It’s not “imagine what you would do in this situation…” you’re in that situation and you have to figure it out together, as a team, or the mission fails. It is like real life, only compressed for maximum impact on the participants.
