2021 STEM CLASSES

Invest in Our Future, Donate Today

Welcome to the Winter Term!

In the midst of a pandemic, the REACH Foundation has continued to thrive. In 2021,  we will expand our programs to provide students and families options. This term, we doubled our class offerings.  We will introduce affordable, subsidized, and free classes when possible in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), social-emotional intelligence and communications. We believe these skills are essential for students' growth into future leaders, workers, and global citizens.  The REACH Foundation collaborates with PYLUSD and distinguished community partners such as theCoderSchool, Microsoft, Inside the Outdoors, Crystal Cove Conservancy and others to offer the highest quality programs.  

Below are five (5) classes offered this winter term.  Classes will begin the week of Feb. 15th.

What skill will your students learn?

How Technology will prepare your student for their future?

What skill will your students learn?

The students will learn how to use Scratch created by MIT and will become familiar with foundational coding concepts such as:

Inputs/Outputs, Variables and Variable Manipulation, If/Then Statements & Conditional Statements, Event Loops (such as For-Loops, While Loops and Forever Loops). In addition to these concepts, students will also learn about the impact of technology in the real world.

According to the National Math & Science Initiative, STEM job creation over the next 10 years will outpace non-STEM jobs, growing 17% as compared to 9.8% for non-STEM positions. 


Jobs in computer systems design and related services are projected to grow by 45% between 2008 and 2018. STEM workers can expect higher salaries.

How Technology will prepare your student for their future?

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Silicon Valley, theCoderSchool combines a super-small teaching ratio with an individualized immersion style to get your kids learning to code in no time!  We don’t believe in kids being taught by software, and we don’t like one-size-fits-all curriculums.  Instead, we focus on a mentor relationship with experienced coders.

TechGirlz Club

Currently only 25% of Information Technology jobs are held by women. Early introduction to the world of coding can change all that. The REACH Foundation began to offering TechGirlz Club classes available to all Placentia-Yorba Linda School District 4th & 5th grade students. Our goal is to provide 4th and 5th grade girls a chance to explore and imagine a future in Tech!
