BSS hosted a coding competition in the library today - 31 teams from BSS, HC, SHS, NDSS, St. Theresa, and Eastside competed for compu-glory. Congrats to all the teams, especially our own Bronze & Gold winners!

How does a HS kid go from commentating @BayridgeSS_LDSB games, to covering @KASSAASports major events, and now doing colour for the @OUAsport Canadian National title basketball game, watched by thousands nationwide?
At this pace, Jacob may be doing the Stanley Cup finals in June!

Congratulations to the 16 students who competed at @BayridgeSS_LDSB in the Limestone Skills coding challenge today!

Six straight hours creating an inventory/customer database system for a fictional pizza store. When these kids get wired in, lookout!!! @LimestoneDSB

@LimestoneDSB @BayridgeSS_LDSB @YouTube Happy to do it! Great show! Needed more cowbell :)

In 2017, 4 students participated in the @UWaterlooCEMC Canadian Computing Competition.

Yesterday, we had 50 @BayridgeSS_LDSB students pack room 140 to give it their best shot.

Truly amazing growth. So happy to see so many awesome young people taking on these challenges.

Wow! Well done Ms. Fab! And thank you to @AwesomeKingston for this "Fab"ulous support! What a great boost for our student actors.

[Bayridge SS Computer Science @bssCompSci]

138 grade 9s and 10s from @BayridgeSS_LDSB jammed the cafeteria today to participate in the @CEMC Beaver Computing Contest.

Another 964 students in grades 4-8 were supported by BSS Computer Specialist students while doing it at their elementary schools.

Pretty cool.

[Bayridge SS Computer Science @bssCompSci]

This took some time. But, the end result is pretty satisfying. Thanks to the @BayridgeSS_LDSB staff for making this all come together!

$23 million gaming arenas are okay, I guess. What an incredible experience for these Kingston boys from @BayridgeSS_LDSB Esports!

When's @queensu or @whatsinsideslc building theirs? 🙂

Great day at Science Rendezvous Kingston! @STEMygk. So inspiring to see the enthusiasm of young people for science. Thanks to the 400+ volunteers who have made this happen, led by the indefatigable @LyndaColgan @queensu

[Bayridge SS Computer Science @bssCompSci]

Regardless, with a National title and a trip to a $23 million gaming arena in Windsor, an amazingly successful year 1 of Esports @BayridgeSS_LDSB! So proud of all involved and so grateful to Matt and Dan @OntFSEA for their TIRELESS work in getting it all set up for the students.

A heart-breaking, almost-had-it, loss in the provincial semi-finals for our Blazers 1 team of Caleb, Owen, Jacob and a quarter-final finish for our Blazers 2 team of Milo, Miguel, Evan at the @OntFSEA Provincial Championships at @StClairCollege. #bssCompSci

[Bayridge SS Computer Science @bssCompSci]

Go Blazers!
