Bureau of Educational Experiments

The Bureau of Educational Experiments (BEE) was an organization founded in the 1920s in New York City that focused on developing innovative teaching methods and educational research. Its goal was to improve learning experiences by exploring new approaches tailored to children's needs. BEE collaborated with educators, psychologists, and artists to create hands-on, creative, and participatory learning environments. The organization played a key role in progressive education, emphasizing student engagement, inquiry, and experiential learning, ultimately influencing educational practices and fostering critical thinking skills.
