CASE STUDIES & IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

STEM in Action at Poway Unified School District

Poway Unified School District is sparking student creativity and scientific thinking with our hands-on MakersQuest course! Designed to align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), this dynamic enrichment experience invites students to become inventors, engineers, and game designers—all while exploring core concepts like gravity, momentum, and simple machines.

From building gravity-defying toys to designing interactive games and gadgets, students are developing real-world problem-solving skills in a fun, collaborative environment. It’s more than just science… it’s imagination in motion! We’re proud to support Poway’s commitment to meaningful, engaging STEM education that inspires the next generation of makers.

Wilsona School District Middle Schoolers Dive Into Startup Life With BAM!

Wilsona School District has partnered with BAM! to bring StartUp Life: Vision to Venture to their middle schoolers as part of their ELOP programming. Through this course, students are diving into real-world concepts like customer and market research, identifying trends, and using data to shape business ideas. They’re also exploring marketing and sales strategies, building persuasive pitches, and learning how to speak the language of digital consumers—all through hands-on, project-based learning.

StartUp Life has quickly become a student favorite, blending creativity, critical thinking, and career exploration into one high-energy course.

Teamwork and Play at Twin Rivers Unified School District

In 2022-23, Twin Rivers and BAM! partnered to launch Structured Recess and Sports Programming at three sites, and the impact was immediately apparent. Today, the program has expanded with more after-school options than ever including tennis, cross country, cheerleading, soccer, basketball, and flag football.

For 2025–26, each site will be staffed with three coaches and a lead coach. During the day they will support teachers and supervise students, and after school they will turn recess energy into coached sports, skill practice, and organized games. The result will be safer play, stronger skills, and smoother transitions between academics and outdoor activities, helping students build confidence, teamwork, and a lasting love of movement. 

We’re proud to partner with Twin Rivers to bring consistent supervision, quality coaching, and playful learning to their campuses.

Santa Ana Unified School District Kicks Off Confidence with Flag Football

Santa Ana Unified is scoring big with BAM!’s Flag Football program! This engaging, non-contact sport gives kids a safe, supportive environment to build skills, stay active, and experience the thrill of teamwork.

With a focus on sportsmanship, collaboration, and fun, students learn the fundamentals of football while developing resilience, communication, and self-confidence—skills they’ll carry with them onto the field, into the classroom, and in life.

We’re proud to partner with Santa Ana to help students discover their strengths, connect with peers, and ignite a lifelong love of movement.

Music-Making Magic at Cajon Valley Unified School District

Cajon Valley Unified School District joined forces with BAM! to deliver engaging, standards-aligned enrichment that expands elementary students’ access to the creative arts. Through courses like Music & Motion and Music Exploration & Coding with Stomp Pads, kids got hands-on with instruments and explored rhythm, melody, and even basic coding. Our programs supported whole-child development while serving as a powerful reminder that enrichment can be both academic and expressive.

This school year alone, nearly 3,000 students engaged with our music courses, building not just musical and technical abilities, but also confidence, collaborative skills, and creativity.
