In this first episode of a series of student interviews with "Ten Minute Teach In" Kip interviews Gail, a senior in high school in Montana.

Gail shares how she built and maintains her garden from scratch during her time at home these last couple of months of remote learning, and explains how she wishes she had more flexibility and opportunities to learn by doing during her time in a traditional classroom. After his conversation with Gail, Kip poses this challenge to our audience this week - How can we create more opportunities for flexible learning now and when we return to a brick and mortar school? Join the conversation using the hashtag #LEARNBYTHEMINUTE & tag @kiphottman & @LearnMinute!
