Hi - my name is Jeremy Jensen and I’m a public school educator in the Denver metro area. I’m on a quest - a quest to learn from as many educators out there as possible about the innovative approaches that are making learning authentic and meaningful. It’s a very different world today than when our current education system was established, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have opportunities to get to know some amazing educators who are working tirelessly to adapt to this new and evolving world.

    Embedded Learning with Bicycle Mechanics

    This episode of Humble Badass Educators features two seventh grade students at Embark Education who work with the bicycle mechanics of Framework Cycles on a daily basis.  Jake Covert and Morgan Matter discuss how they as mechanics also work as educators to bring the components of the bicycle shop operations and bicycle mechanics to life for middle school students in the Denver area through projects and shop shifts. We are joined by two Embark 7th grade students, Jay and Oliver, who came up with the idea to feature these mechanics.  They share the mic with me today in the interview and also share a bit of their experience at Embark Education.  It can be said that these two young men are humble badasses in their own right.

Thanks as always for tuning in to today’s episode of Humble Badass Educators with Mike Hardiman.
