TechREACH after school clubs and summer programs help schools involve underrepresented minority and low-income middle school students in technology. TechREACH equips teachers with the proven curriculum and training to generate excitement for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) while building students’ confidence.
TechREACH is a project of the EdLab Group (formerly the Puget Sound Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology).

| TechREACH News Eighty middle school students from Pasco, Sunnyside, and Granger School Districts are participating in 2-week robotic workshops in Eastern Washington this summer. Students are exploring robotic activities that use motion, light, and sound sensors to mimic animal behavior and the Mars Rover. At the end of the workshop, students participate in robot Olympics. These summer workshops engage students in engineering activities and put their math and design skills to work. Students also learn about related careers. |
TechREACH Voices "Our school believes in the program and has benefited from the work of this club in many ways. Our TechREACH club has been written up in the local newspaper as well as the district and school newsletter. It is well advertised and appreciated throughout our district." |
