Bearcat Blast MS/HS Update - 6/3/24

All k-12 BCPS summer programming will kick off next Monday, June 10, and run through July 25. Grades 6-8 will meet at Battle Creek STEM Innovation Center (located in the 1100 wing of Battle Creek Central High School next to the McQuiston Learning Center), and grades 9-12 will meet at Battle Creek Central High School.

High School Students who are behind on credits, this is the time to get in and get your credits!

Middle School has an engaging new hands-on curriculum that we are excited to roll out this summer! 8th-graders will work with MCA and KMSI for a student-led exploration focusing on Spheros and Tellos drones for our 8th graders enrolled in Bearcat Blast. More information and dates to follow.
