Beyonders Challenge Program Spring 2021 Courses 

The Beyonders Challenge Program was created in 2020 in order to fulfill students’ desire for exposure to courses they would not necessarily be taking during their regular school hours. Our curriculum design is focused on creative thinking, active learning, and the role of context in education. This program is currently 100% online for the foreseeable future with a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous activities occurring from approximately 9am-3pm. 

Registration is now open to students in grades 8^th-10^th for the upcoming February 27th, March 20th, and April 10^th program dates for the following courses: 

Disease Detectives: Introduction to Microbiology and Epidemiology  

Rube Goldberg 

Podcast Production 101
