Brains & Motion Education (BAM!), a leader in innovative educational programs, is announcing its partnership with YaizY, a pioneering provider of immersive, project-based learning experiences.


YaizY is a leading provider of immersive, project-based learning experiences for middle and high school students. Their “Passion to Profession” pathways are designed to close college and career readiness gaps by merging students’ interests with real-world skills, all delivered through a cutting-edge digital platform.


Brains & Motion Education is committed to providing high-quality educational experiences that prepare students for success in the real world. By partnering with YaizY, BAM! sets a new standard for Career & College Readiness programs that are academically rigorous, profoundly engaging, and relevant to students’ future careers. These courses equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.

A New Era of Education


Career Exploration enrichment provides students an environment for exploring and developing their passions. BAM! and Yaizy’s commitment to College and Career Readiness is manifested through a robust selection of classes beyond textbook learning, inspiring students to immerse themselves in practical, hands-on experiences. This not only enhances their academic understanding but also fosters the development of real-world skills that are essential for their future endeavors.


With YaizY, BAM! strives to inspire, educate, and prepare students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Students practice crucial life skills, like teamwork, problem-solving, and time management, while they learn through experiential content and projects.

BAM! is dedicated to providing an educational journey that extends beyond the confines of the classroom. It motivates students to chart their paths and become confident, capable contributors to society. The following highlights the importance of introducing career exploration opportunities to students.


Early Exposure Builds Awareness


Career Exploration helps build awareness about various career paths and industries. Early exposure to the job market can spark interests they otherwise might have yet to learn about.


Informed Decision-Making

High school seniors often feel overwhelmed when determining college majors or career paths. By exploring career possibilities in middle school, students have more time to consider their options. Early exposure allows them to identify their interests and strengths.


Skill Development


Career exploration offers practical, hands-on experiences that help students develop valuable skills. When students start building their skills early, that gives them a solid foundation in those skills, making them more competitive in the job market.


Alignment with Academic Learning


Integrating career exploration with traditional academic lessons helps students understand the relevance of their education. Students who see the connection between their learning and real-world applications foster a deeper appreciation for their studies.


Career Exploration Throughout K-12


Our Career Exploration enrichment courses take education to the next level for grades 6-8 students. Brains & Motion Education teaches marketing, writing, design, science, technology, engineering, and mathematical concepts so students can develop games, websites, books, a graphic portfolio, and more.


For grades 9-12, career exploration programs help students boost their college applications. Select YaizY courses with built-in college-level material, including a CodeHS course officially endorsed by the College Board for the Advanced Placement Computer Science curriculum. Various options are available, including Unity’s Certified User: Programmer or Certified Associate: Game Developer, and the Python Institute’s PCEP™ – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer and PCAP™ – Certified Associate Python Programmer.


Innovative Programs for the Future


This partnership brings a diverse range of courses under the banner of BAM!’s Career & College Ready programs, including:


  1. Coding Bootcamp: Students dive into technology with foundational skills in Scratch coding, data analysis, and Python programming.

  2. StartUp Life: Budding entrepreneurs explore the process of crafting and launching their businesses, from market research to securing funding.

  3. eSports Management: Students learn strategic planning and leadership by building and managing their eSports teams.

  4. Changemakers: Impact Marketing: This course empowers students to create digital marketing campaigns that drive positive social change.

  5. Animation DreamLab: Aspiring animators bring their ideas to life through hand-drawn, stop-motion, and 3D animation techniques.

  6. Comic Studio: Students create digital comics, mastering graphic design, creative writing, and visual storytelling.


A Seamless Learning Experience


YaizY’s unique platform immerses students in a highly interactive and engaging learning environment. Through this partnership, YaizY and BAM! have worked together to develop a hybrid learning model that provides students with:


  1. An immersive online edu-gaming platform.

  2. Future-forward content, with the possibility of earning credits or certifications, depends on the course offerings’ time and frequency.

  3. A qualified online teacher who engages students in real-world, project-based learning

  4. An onsite BAM! learning facilitator to support the students.

  5. Additional lessons for asynchronous learning opportunities.


When students are given the autonomy to explore and discover, they are more likely to be independent, self-directed, and lifelong learners. YaizY and BAM!’s partnership supports students with guided and asynchronous lessons, allowing them on-site assistance and individual time to explore independently.


BAM!’s partnership with YaizY is a part of our continuous commitment to providing students with cutting-edge enrichment opportunities, setting them up for success throughout their K12 school years and beyond.


Take advantage of this partnership by seeing what Career & College Readiness courses BAM! and YaizY offer near you!
