St. Stephen Middle

With the introduction of new technology, the job market is ever-changing and we want our students prepared for whatever comes next. During BCSD Technology's Future Innovators Camp at St. Stephen Middle, students were pushed to be adaptable, forward-thinking problem solvers. Whether it was coding with Legos or building their own computers within Minecraft, students had a blast stretching the bounds of their creativity and programming skills.
