Digital Learning Begins Here

Starting with the Basics

At BNS, technology education begins in the third grade (Green Room) where students learn the basics of typing, how to use the Google Drive Suite, and how to navigate the computer. Our school teaches online safety and digital citizenship using the Common Sense Media curriculum.

Deeper Hands-On Learning

Beginning in Middle School, students have the opportunity to explore technology and its uses even more deeply. The curriculum focuses on technology literacy so that students develop an understanding of how technology is created and evolves, its impact on society, and how it can help solve problems.

 

Through hands-on learning, students have opportunities to learn how to program, 3D model, animate, and work with microcontrollers/electronics.

Extra Curricular

If volunteers are available, students have an opportunity to participate in Robotics as an extracurricular technology-focused programs. BNS students will have the change to build and program their robots to complete a series of challenges, while also learning about a specific area of STEM.
