Today’s students are growing up in a world that moves fast and is forever changing. It's time to move past the occasional field trip and dig into immersive learning off campus. In this episode, we discuss the benefits of exposing students to industry professionals to better understand how their learning applies in the real world and receive authentic feedback on their projects and innovations.
Join us for our final episode this season as we dive deeper into TAF’s last component: Expanded Community. Hear how career awareness, real-world skills, innovation, and much more are fostered in collaboration with community partners to provide an authentic, student-led learning experience that can have a lasting impact in public education.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
