State STEAM Team Does Program with BMS Students

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on October 13, 2024

Bridgeport Middle School students recently had an amazing opportunity to host West Virginia Department of Education State Board President Nancy White, Harrison County Schools Superintendent Dora Stutler, and the West Virginia STEAM Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for a day of engaging, hands-on STEAM learning. 
 
Nearly 100 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders from BMS explored agricultural careers through the 'Growing with Innovation' program. They delved into plant biology, computer science, and used micro:bits to solve real-world challenges facing West Virginia farms.
 
The students did this all while learning how to enhance farming efficiency. School officials said it was a fantastic day of discovery and innovation in STEAM education.
 
STEAM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The STEAM TAC team has been traveling across West Virginia to bring this program to students all over the Mountain State.
 
The hope with this particular program is to expose students to the possibility of a future in farming or any agriculture-related field. West Virginia is home to mulitiple small, and several large, farm operations.
