Deep Dive with Steve Day on Creative Pathways
About this episode
Principal Steve Day discusses the transformative impact of hands-on learning experiences for high school students at the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus.
What if a high school student could spend their day fixing a plane, machining a part destined for a rocket launch, or building a house that a family will actually live in? At the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus (CCIC) in the Denver metro area, that's just a Tuesday. In the ninth episode of our Wired to Create series, Principal Steve Day makes the case that when you stop underestimating teenagers and give them something real to do, everything changes — for the students, for the school, and for the families whose lives are transformed as a result.
