In this episode of Rooted & Rising, Andrew McDonald sits down with Shane Fairbanks to explore how history comes alive when students are invited to experience it, not just read about it.

Through hands‑on projects, immersive lessons, and creative approaches, Shane shares how experiential learning helps students build curiosity, deepen understanding, and make meaningful connections to the past. The conversation highlights how engaging instruction fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and a genuine love of learning.

Together, they reflect on why hands‑on learning matters in a Catholic school setting where students are encouraged to see themselves as part of a larger story shaped by faith, culture, and human experience.

It’s a joyful reminder that when learning is interactive and purposeful, it becomes more than content, it becomes formation.
