About

Each year, BEA selects up to 40 new applications for rising sixth grade middle school boys to participate in a year-long learning program. BEA continues each year, building upon the concepts they learn through their previous BEA courses to create a strong engineering foundation.


The summer experience engages students over a four-week period, from 9 a.m.–4 p.m., Monday–Friday. The BEA academic year program meets two Saturdays a month October through May for three-hour sessions.


Applications are typically due May 1
