About REACh
The Rice Emerson App Challenge (REACh) Academy is an eight-day virtual program for current (2019-2020) 7th–9th grade students. Students will work in teams of 2–3 to create a functional app on any topic related to STEM and/or COVID-19. Students will utilize Code.org to design their app and will need their own email address to access the website.
Prize winners will be awarded at the end of the program for the top three apps.
Summer 2020 REACh Program*
REACh Academy will have daily virtual sessions for one and a half hours each day at set times. Students are expected to work with their teams on the app outside of this scheduled instruction time.
