College Decision Day: Congratulations High School Seniors!
During times of change and stress, it takes courage to make big decisions. Last spring, our high school seniors stepped up to the challenge as they navigated college decisions this year. We're proud to announce the schools our students will be attending.
BEAM's Mental Health Resource Round-up
For May Mental Health Awareness Month, BEAM staff and students hopped on our social media to share our favorite ways to take care of our mental health during this challenging time!
Zavier's College Journey
Zavier is part of BEAM’s first cohort to graduate from college (in 2020); he graduated from UAlbany with a double major in computer science and art. He is also BEAM’s first alum to serve in a leadership role at our summer programs.
...And Now for Some Math
Here’s a math game you can play while keeping up social distancing. Find someone to play with and read on.
The game:
You are given $20, and you must guess a whole number between 1 and 700. For each incorrect guess you make, you must pay $1, and then you are told if you were over or under the correct number. If you guess the number, you get to keep the money you have left.
Challenge 1: Can you guarantee a profit on this game? What's the greatest profit you can guarantee even if you are very unlucky on your guesses?
