Saturday Office Hours

Every Thursday and one weekend a month, BEAM hosts "Office Hours".  Just as in college, students can bring anything they're working on and receive help or advice from staff and volunteers.

Here's a list of things we worked on this weekend at Office Hours:

  • Ayinde helped students prepare to take the SCAT next weekend, the first step to attending summer programs at the Center for Talented Youth (CTY)
  • Amy helped Jahleel with Algebra 1
  • Lynn helped Veronica with 8th grade math homework
  • Ryan helped DeVaune with Geometry
  • Dan led the monthly Math Team meeting, with the 8th graders preparing for MATHCOUNTS

Students also had time to take a break and eat a snack with friends.

By the time BEAM students get to college, they will be in the habit of seeking out help as needed!
