Nepris Co-Founder and CEO, Sabari Raja, talks with us about creating authenticity in project-based learning. Nepris is a web-based connections platform that allows teachers to connect their classrooms to industry professionals as a way to engage students in science, technology, engineering, and math in the real world.

We discuss how to make professionals available in rural districts and areas, helping the 3 out of 4 teachers who have no industry experience support industry learning and the question, "how can you aspire to something you don't know exists?”

In this episode, we cover:

• How our inherited network impacts our learning
• The benefits of connecting real world industry professionals and classrooms
• How parents play a key role in student engagement
• What our next iteration of education will look like and why experiential learning is critical
• EdTech resources for parents to explore
