A lifelong hands-on learner and DIY warrior, James Allen has been teaching high-schoolers GeoCon — how geometry has real-life applications in the world of construction — for the last eight years, giving students the knowledge, opportunity and tools to build something themselves. And by documenting these step-by-step lessons on social media, James has attracted a huge following, as well as the attention of companies like Ozinga, who has donated concrete to the cause. In today's conversation with Ozinga CEO Marty Ozinga, James shares how he approaches making math matter to young people, and why there's hope that tradework will thrive in the hands of a new generation. Full video of this conversation can be found at ozinga.com/podcasts.
