A question often arises, “How does experiential learning benefit students?” As a teacher, you’re in a unique position to shape your students’ future paths. For those driven students looking to stand out on college applications, experiential learning offers transformative benefits. It's not just a buzzword—experiential learning is a powerful tool that equips students with real-world skills, enriches their academic experiences, and makes their applications shine. Here’s why recommending programs like Envision’s experiential learning opportunities could be one of the best decisions you make for your students.
What Is Experiential Learning? Experiential learning is an education model where students "learn by doing." This approach goes beyond textbooks and lectures, immersing students in hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and problem-solving scenarios that mirror real-world challenges. Whether it’s a leadership conference, a STEM workshop, or a career-focused simulation, these experiences deepen understanding, foster critical thinking, and ignite a passion for lifelong learning.

As any teacher will tell you, math is often the least favorite subject of most students. One reason students struggle with math is that it often feels abstract to them. When applied in the real world, students begin to see that math is all around us in the physical world. By incorporating STEM learning into real-world experiences, teachers can help students connect mathematical concepts as they apply to their everyday lives in a fun, hands-on way. One engaging method is hosting a Math Scavenger Hunt—a creative activity that ties STEM learning to real-world applications or, as the students might say, IRL.
