Welcome to Building Digital Skills Forward
Building Digital Skills Forward (BDSF) curriculum is a summer, engaging, rigorous, multi-track program that empowers 6th – 12th grade learners to develop their inherent digital and digital-related skills. The program relies on learner-driven project-based home, school, and community predicaments; each learner will explore their predicaments while leveraging use of a broad range of digital, virtual, and physical technologies.
Digital technology affects almost every aspect of modern life, and all learners deserve to have a fluency in digital skills that empowers them to pursue a variety of opportunities that are made possible by mastering digital skills. The BDSF program is designed to specifically foster learner creativity and critical thinking intended to help each learner resolve their specific predicaments with one or more optimal outcomes.
