About the innovation

Transformative learning through real world collaboration

What we do? Immerse students into practical real world contexts where they interact with external experts as the vehicle to learn abstract theoretical concepts.

Why we do it? Both student engagement and teacher satisfaction increase exponentially when agency is unleashed.
