As educators, we all strive to engage our students in active learning experiences that go beyond traditional methods. At Goodwin University, our approach to education is deeply rooted in the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)<\/a>, a framework designed to create inclusive educational environments that accommodate the diverse needs of all students.<\/p>\n

Education is a collaborative effort between students and educators, and active participation is crucial for success. One powerful way to encourage this engagement is through hackathons, which develop critical thinking skills and prepare students for their professional journeys.<\/p>\n
