Pasadena Educational Foundation

Learning outdoors is widely recognized as an integral part of all children's education and development, and yet most students in LA County -- especially those in low-income communities -- lack access to regular, structured outdoor activities in school. Pasadena Educational Foundation and the Pasadena Unified School District propose to take our existing programs -- currently engaging many students in some grades at most schools -- and expand them into a sequential curriculum that will give every PUSD student in TK-12 equity in outdoor education.

The APP Academy is a four-year computer science education program where high school students learn mobile, web and game development through real-world, inquiry-based, hands-on projects.
