What happens when a 20-year classroom veteran brings her passion for learning to the front lines of education innovation?

In Episode 2 of EdUp Smart Space, I talk with Kate Portenier, Executive Director of the Foundation for Adams Central Public Schools, about what it takes to engage the next generation of learners.

From interactive classrooms and AR dissection labs to football stadium displays run by students—Kate shares how rural schools are redefining tech-forward education.

Tune in as we explore:

  • The shift from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side”
  • The role of AI, AR/VR, and gamification in learning
    • Why student voice should shape the spaces they learn
