Mr. Saunders, the AP Coordinator, presented to next year`s grade 10 students. Grade 10 is the first year BFS students can participate in AP coursework. Advanced Placement (AP) classes offer high school students the opportunity to engage in college-level coursework, providing a challenging academic environment that fosters critical thinking and prepares them for the rigors of higher education.
AP courses cover a wide range of subjects, potentially allowing students to earn college credit or advanced placement in college. AP classes not only deepen students` understanding of the subject matter but also enhance their skills in time management, study habits, and academic discipline, making them invaluable experiences for those seeking academic excellence and readiness for college.

Over the past few weeks, Middle School Computer Science students have been learning the basics about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. For their summative project of the unit, students created a chatbot where a user can have a discussion with a virtual character about a handful of topics of which the character knows about. Students used a supervised machine learning model in conjunction with the Scratch programming language to teach their chatbots how to predict conversational topics and converse with a user.
Middle school chatbot designers had a chance to showcase their projects and learning to others in the community to test, gather feedback, and return to the design cycle to make iterative improvements to their programs. Additionally, students were able to highlight what makes their chatbot unique and what must happen behind the scenes in order to have a fully working program!
