It’s always inspiring to talk with fellow teachers about possibilities in the classroom and hear their stories. We all have that moment, right? For me it was GravityTank: That place and that team came at the perfect time for me. They were the ones who were at the heart of my shift in teaching in 2013. A phrase comes to mind, stolen from Aaron Sorkin and his show The Newsroom: “We just decided to.”

There’s just a moment when you decide that your classroom and the experience your students have in there is just going to be something more. In this episode, we sit down with former math teacher and current CTE teacher, Mike Pintaric, and get his thoughts on the transformation in teaching and the skills kids need for this 21st Century. We even give Ron Howard's Apollo 13 a nod for its classic moment of innovation and creativity.
