Grateful for the incredible business partners who support our Exploration of Health Sciences and Medicine course through the Waukee APEX program! 🙌

Through our partnership with WesleyLife, associates lead exercise classes and build meaningful connections with older adults working to stay active and healthy.

We also collaborate with the Dallas County Public Health Department through ISTEP and Pick A Better Snack. These experiences allow our associates to educate students on the risks of smoking and va**ng while also promoting healthy nutrition habits in elementary classrooms.

These partnerships bring real-world learning to life in our Exploration of Health Sciences and Medicine course while allowing us to serve our community in meaningful ways.

Thank you to our amazing partners for investing in student-associates and making a difference every day!

Architecture & Engineering student-associates put their designs to the test in the WILC, racing 3D-printed, propeller-powered cars they engineered from the ground up. Through this hands-on challenge, the team applied 3D modeling software, explored electrical power systems, and refined mechanical design concepts while engaging in the full engineering design process from concept to competition.
