Summary: Jackson Holm is a senior at Grand Forks Red River High School. He’s a National Merit Scholar finalist who enjoys computer science, theatre and takes an innovations class from teacher Eric Sanders (Sanders was featured on Episode 21).<br><br>Sanders says of Holm, “He has designed video games, designed and launched a high-altitude balloon (near-space balloon) in 9th grade, and trained a neural network of artificial intelligence. He did these outside of school, in spite of school. He is also a National Merit Scholar finalist. He also nearly left school last semester to move to Portland and open a vegan buffalo wing food truck. He has views about how education needs to change to applying knowledge through projects and collaboration.”<br><br>Sanders said he asked Jackson what he thought about education, and he replied, "There is almost nothing that is done alone anymore. Education is focused on single-person learning." He is hopeful that education is changing in a good way.<br><br>Resources:<br><br>TEDx Talk: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFGU1MPd14A&t=1s" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFGU1MPd14A&t=1s</a> <br><br><a href="http://www.ndplaylist.org" rel="noopener">http://www.ndplaylist.org</a><br><br><a href="http://www.ndunited.org/thecuttinged" rel="noopener">http://www.ndunited.org/thecuttinged</a><br><br>Twitter<br>@thecuttinged<br>@NDDPI<br>@kirstenbaesler<br>@tdintersmith<br>@bistom<br>@PrairiePublicEd<br>@ndunited
