What's are the initials BJC? My searching turned up nothing that immediately fits the context, and I'd like to read more

It's in the article.

"Snap is the programming language for UC Berkeley’s Beauty and Joy of Computing curriculum (BJC), which aims to bring introductory CS to a wider range of students than the typical intro to programming does. BJC is also used at the high school level, and is a curriculum for the new AP Computer Science: Principles test."
