The Fall 2024 semester at Waukee APEX was marked by significant achievements, collaborative projects, and community engagement, strengthening the program’s commitment to providing students with real-world professional experiences. Throughout the semester, we continued to strengthen our partnerships with local businesses and institutions while engaging with new partners to create more opportunities for students. We partnered with businesses on over 160 projects from construction with Habitat for Humanity to research with Des Moines University. We are looking forward to another successful semester developing highly skilled and adaptable innovators and leaders.

On December 12, 2024, we celebrated the semester’s accomplishments at our bi-annual Waukee APEX Showcase. We had over 600 visitors to the Waukee Innovation and Learning Center, where guests had the opportunity to engage with students, connect with faculty, and network with business and college partners.
