They share what it's like to step away from technology, live and learn in nature, and earn a high school credit through hands-on experiences. From exploring ecosystems and conducting fieldwork to learning from industry professionals, the students explain how this unique approach to education has changed the way they think about science, school, and their future. 00:00 – Why Students Choose the Canadian Ecology Centre 04:30 – Learning Through Hands-On Experiences 12:04 – Life Without Phones for Two Weeks 20:32 – The Power of Community and Connection 33:45 – How the Experience Changed Their Future ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-backroads-bill-podcast-6610086/episodes/experiential-learning-through-the-eyes-of-students/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-backroads-bill-podcast-6610086/experiential-learning-through-the-eyes-of-students.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
