Episode Summary 

On this episode, I connect with Isabella, Miguel, Sebastian, Indalecio & Susana, recent graduates of Colegio Jorge Washington in Cartagena, Colombia. Listen how these students, as part of an integrated unit that combined Spanish and sociales (social studies), connected with a local community, conducted a needs assessment,  developed a collaborative partnership, and used their expertise to design and prototype solutions. Listen as they discuss the project and the roles they took on as part of the collaboration.
