Episode 6 of Beyond the Build, the Drupal Association podcast sponsored by Axelerant, examines the digital transformation of the Hamilton Education Program website. Hosts Kelly Delaney (Director of Partner Development, Drupal Association) and Prateek Jain (Director of DXP Services, Axelerant) sit down with Andrew Williamson (Senior Project Manager, Kanopi Studios) and Nicholas Gliserman (Consultant, The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History) to discuss how the learning platform was rebuilt for modern use.

Hamilton’s online program began as a collaboration between Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History but struggled on Drupal 7 architecture. The team partnered with Kanopi Studios to redevelop the site on a flexible, educator-focused platform. Rebuild highlights include streamlined content management, responsive design for students and teachers, and a rich resource library delivered through modern Drupal APIs.

Listeners who want to learn how meaningful digital transformation can enhance educational outreach can watch or listen to Episode 6 now.
