Introducing the STEAM Club

The STEAM Club offers engaging learning opportunities in STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math for PYLUSD students! 


The bedrock of our activities is centered on 21st-Century learning and life skills with a focus on the Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communications. 


The Academic Team's Mission is to provide hands-on, engaging enrichment programs that inspire students to become confident and creative innovators and collaborators at home and at school. 


We offer meaningful educational experiences, promoting STEAM, supplementing teachers, state curriculum and turning knowledge into impactful action. Through our vast array of community partners, student interns, and parent experts/volunteers, our students gain technical, engineering, and communication skills, investigating real-world problems  in a supportive environment.

First Lego League Robotics Team competes

    Regional Competition 12-4-2022

    First Lego League Robotics

    Travis Trailblazers had a phenomenal performance at the regionals this weekend. The team finished the competition with a 3rd place Core Values Award which is given to the team that best display Core Values in the entirety of the competition. Also Nikita Gupta, a REACH Foundation Intern mentored under Gisele Nguyen VP Academics within the Academics Programs, received the  Coach/Mentor Award for the mentor of the team who best exemplifies FIRST Core Values. The Travis Trailblazers  score of 215 points was in the top 40% of the 39 teams present at this competition. Although this marks the end of the 2022 season, the fact that a rookie team was able to advance to the regional competition and leave with two awards this whole season is a huge accomplishment in itself! Most important of all congratulations to our Travis Ranch students Claire, Geoff, Abby, Nolan, and Christian for your great performance!

    Experimental Design Pilot by VHS Girl Up Club

    Ruby Drive Elementary

     With a goal to give young girls in our community opportunities to investigate STEM through weekly experimental designs using everyday materials.  Experiments will cover basic physics and chemistry, exposing the girls to STEM and inspiring them to pursue science. We hope to also build relationships between the volunteers (high school girls pursuing STEM) as role models and mentors for the younger elementary school students. This program provides the basis for future STEM studies, develop more inquisitive mindset, gain skills in the "lab" setting, and build teamwork while working on the experiment. 


    Meeting: 1 day/week

    Time: 1 hour

    Length: 8 weeks

    Class Size: 20 students max

    Congratulations to our team Travis Trailblazers for being one of the few rookie teams to advance to the regional competition! Out of over 400 teams in the SoCal region, only 200 of the teams advanced.  The Travis Trailblazers score of 215 points was among the top 25% of all teams in the region and our team left with the All Star Rising Award which is given to the most promising team at the qualifier competition. A shout out to the Yorba Linda High School students in the STEM IT UP club, that mentored and prepared the team  from spring 2022 to compete this fall. The students had an excellent performance and we expect great things from them in the future! We are excited to compete at the regional competition on December 4th.
