How does this apply to my life?
How is this gonna help me when I need to get a job in the future?
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Far too often we've heard students ask these questions.
We can’t hope to answer these questions in our schools if we haven’t first brought to students curriculum that connects classrooms to careers, and that means hands-on exploration and problem-solving, project-based learning.
- By 2020, 80% of jobs will require some level of technology proficiency.
- We live in a digital world, so we have to start preparing our students TODAY with workforce-ready skills.
- Self-directed learners become self-directed workers. Employers increasingly want employees who demonstrate initiative and skill when communicating, performing technical duties, and creatively solving unexpected problems.
- BCJH is the leader in Matagorda County in preparing students beginning as early as junior high for their future careers. The choice is clear - Bay City ISD.

Investigating Careers in STEM/Robotics Programming & Design | Investigating Careers in Computer Science |
Through a grant from the Texas Education Agency, BCISD is able to offer dedicated labs for students to investigate careers.
These STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) labs feature cloud-based curriculum, and include kits, equipment, and hands-on minds-on activities.
The curriculum is socially interactive, and the labs are learner-centric environments where students can exchange and test ideas, work with others, and lead open-ended projects.
We know it’s more than just content acquisition – it’s helping students develop perseverance, collaboration skills, and a growth mind-set.
