The program offers hands on geography, engineering, archaeology, reading, and science activities for students through our Fieldwork School Project called " DOTS and I DIG History. " The BHS program features working professionals who captivate students with accounts of life in science mathematics, technology, geography, and history. BHS students are prepared in how to build their own careers and/or college majors---respond to a glimpse of the "real world".
