HUB & CAPSTONE NIGHT
SHOWCASING
LEARNING IN ACTION
On a night defined by curiosity, creativity, and purpose, Moeller students took center stage to showcase what happens when learning extends beyond the classroom. Hub Showcase and Capstone Night brought together the Burns Innovation Hub curriculum, Chaminade Global Scholars presentations, and work from the Molecular Biology Research course—offering a powerful look at REALearning in action.
From business pitches and engineered prototypes to advanced scientific research, live media, and works of art, the breadth of student work on display was as impressive as it was inspiring. Each project told a deeper story—not just of what students learned, but how they learned it: through iteration, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving.
At the heart of the evening was the Burns Innovation Hub, a dynamic, hands-on environment designed to challenge students to engage real-world problems through interdisciplinary learning. The Hub continues to expand opportunities for students to grow in confidence, creativity, and adaptability—equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
“Hub Showcase and Capstone Night is a powerful reflection of what’s possible when students are given the opportunity to explore, create, and take ownership of their learning,” said Erin Brandyberry, director of innovation and curriculum. “What you see tonight isn’t just the final product—it’s the result of curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to engage real-world challenges in meaningful ways.”
That same spirit was evident in the Chaminade Global Scholars program, where students presented capstone projects tackling complex global issues. Through years of rigorous coursework, cross-cultural engagement, and applied learning, these students developed solutions grounded in research, empathy, and practical application. Some capstone projects include: Parametric Insurance Linked Securities for Exposed Businesses, A Potential Cure?: Uncovering the Function of an Unknown Protein and Creating Purposeful Interactions Between Youth and the Elderly. Their work reflects a deep commitment to understanding the world—and making it better.
The Molecular Biology Research course added another layer of innovation to the evening, highlighting students engaged in high-level scientific inquiry. Through hands-on research experiences, students explored complex biological concepts, applying both in vitro and in silico techniques to better understand the world at a molecular level.
Adding to the energy of the evening, Moeller’s broadcast students produced a live stream featuring interviews, student reporting, and real-time coverage of the showcase—capturing the excitement and sharing it with the broader community.
