A student-driven approach to a mathematical modeling course is presented. Students choose their topic based on an article from a popular science medium, spend time researching the background information of the article, constructing a mathematical model, solving it, and either writing a report or giving a brief presentation before a critical audience. Through this experience, students learn the underlying techniques of formulating relevant mathematical models.
