BSD Testimonials

"BSD provided us with guidance and resources to establish a strong and comprehensive STEAM-based program.

More and more students are now selecting technology as one of their electives after we started using BSD materials."

"BSD has allowed me to take programming to the next level in my classroom! In the past, I was intimidated to try text-based coding with students.

With BSD's help and their intuitive platform, I'm successfully teaching HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to my grade 8 students."

"I was overwhelmed with the response of my students. Many of them had no idea what coding was and had no experience with it, and for them to feel the confidence in themselves to get out there and at least try, I know that was due to us working through BSD together."

"I cannot recommend BSD enough. The online platform is easy to use and has dozens of features that support teaching and learning, providing an enriching and rewarding experience for both educators and students."

"BSD has provided a progressive framework to allow pupils to experience coding in a real-world sense which allows them to grow at their own pace. The time saved planning this kind of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript content is invaluable, and I cannot recommend it enough!"

"BSD Education has really changed the way our students have viewed technology. They see themselves as creators and not just consumers.”
