S1:E9 Jared DuPree on "Designing the future: Challenge-based learning" Part 1
Share your thoughts
What does it take to shift a school system from standardization to innovation? In this thought-provoking episode of Education by Design, host Phil Evans is joined by Dr. Jared DuPree for a conversation that challenges the boundaries of what public education can be.
Together, they explore the promise of challenge-based learning—an approach that connects students with real-world problems and invites them to design solutions through collaboration, creativity, and purpose. Dr. DuPree shares insights from his journey as a classroom teacher, district leader, and now national director for one of the most forward-thinking education initiatives in the country. At the heart of this conversation is a question that matters to every school leader, policymaker, and parent: Are we preparing students to navigate the world—or to change it?
This episode is part one of a special two-part series on education models that foster deep, authentic learning in a rapidly evolving world.
About the Founders: Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre
This bold educational vision was sparked by legendary music producer Jimmy Iovine and hip-hop icon and entrepreneur Andre Young, better known as Dr. Dre. Their combined success in music, business, and cultural innovation led them to a realization: future-ready creators need to think beyond silos. They need to speak the shared language of design, technology, and entrepreneurship. And they need to learn it young.
The Iovine and Young Center: Bringing Innovation to Public Schools
Founded as an extension of the Iovine and Young Academy at the University of Southern California, the Iovine and Young Center (IYC) brings this revolutionary approach to high school students—particularly those from underserved communities. The IYC model blends challenge-based learning, design thinking, and integrated technology education to transform how students engage with the world. With active programs in Los Angeles and Atlanta, and expansions underway, the IYC is redefining what public education can look like when innovation meets equity.
