BC3 Academy
Business, Community and Classroom Connections Academy for Math and Science Study Enhancement
This exciting two-week summer program allows 32 math, science, and vocational teachers in 5th-12th grade education the opportunity to learn from college educators and business professionals about the latest developments in math and science research and careers. During the academy, teachers are divided into eight small groups that explore one of the following areas:
• Air and Aerospace
• Animal Science
• Energy
• Forensics
• Public Health
• Space Science
• Transportation
• Water Resources.
The goal of the academy is to encourage teachers to make math and science more relevant for their students through understanding careers that require mastery in these subjects. Teachers attending the academy may receive in-service credit or college credit through MTSU.
The BC3 Academy is held annually in mid-June. It is a cooperative effort between Rutherford County Schools, The Tennessee Mathematics, Science and Technology Education Center (TSMTEC) at MTSU and the BEP. It is funded by Destination Rutherford.

"I have attended other workshops both here and in other counties. BC3 is much more practical and involved. The Academy provides many different contacts, ideas, and applications directly related to the business and employment world. It is invaluable!"
