BSD Testimonials

Hanan Elhady
Hanan ElhadyDirector of Technology - Modern Knowledge Schools, Bahrain
"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."
Kara Stucky
Kara StuckyDesign Technology Teacher - International Community School, Singapore
"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."
Kathy Smith
Kathy SmithTechnology Teacher - McCall Elementary & Middle School, Philadelphia, USA
"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."
Larisa Curran
