Hour of Code

We live in a world surrounded by technology. We also know that whatever field our students choose to pursue as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. Yet only a tiny fraction of the students in the United States are learning Computer Science. That is why the entire BES student body  joined in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code Challenge. 

Take a moment to see for yourself what the Hour of Code is all about and what the BES students thought about this amazing experience.

Grade 4 STEM Assembly

Have you ever built a flashlight out of a recycled plastic water bottle, a battery, some wire and a light bulb? The BES fourth grade students did just that during Friday's STEM assembly. Take a quick peek at these young electrical engineers in action!

Hour of Code

The Hour of Code is finally here and each and every BES student will have the opportunity to participate in this amazing event this week! It is time to get excited to write your Hour of Code!

Remember - you can do this at home as well. The two sites that we are using are school are code.org and Tynker.
