Students at BMS in Mrs. Liz Hill’s Computer Science class and Mrs. Boutwell’s STEAM class engaged in a dynamic and enriching week of hands-on learning. Computer Science students dedicated the week to designing, constructing and coding Spike Prime Lego robots, culminating in an exhilarating race on Friday as their creations competed. Meanwhile, STEAM students delved into an in-depth exploration of natural disasters, concluding their unit with an immersive experience—piloting drones throughout the Media Center and Atrium to gain insight into the critical role drones play in disaster response and recovery efforts.
