Experiential Learning via Student Driven Projects

Friday November 6, 2026 TBA

When a student has advanced beyond their peers, to the point that their educators cannot challenge them enough to continue their learning through traditional curricula, it is time to look at how industry / education partnerships can continue to nourish the interest and passion for learning.

Steve Davis and Dalila Hernandez connected after her teacher met Mr. Davis and requested that he provide an additional learning challenge for Ms. Hernandez so that she could continue her education beyond what was available and practical with the current constraints in her district. After that, they embarked on a multi-year, multi-project journey to enhance Ms. Hernandez's learning experience with feedback and guidance from an industry professional. She is currently pursuing a Graphic Design and Computer Science degree from Drake University and continues her extra-curricular learning with Mr. Davis on a consistent basis to supplement her coursework.
