  1. Project Lead The Way is the nation’s leading provider of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum for middle and high school students.

  2. Our mission is to prepare students for the global economy.

  3. Engage their minds and their interestearly.

  4. 65 percent of scientists and graduate students in a 2010 study stated that their interest in science began before middle school

  5. World Class-Curriculum PLTW|Launch Elementary program launches in 2014 Gateway To Technology Pathway To Engineering & Biomedical Sciences College, career, and beyond

  6. PLTW LaunchAmazing Discoveries start here

  7. It all comes together in a PLTW classroom

  8. Paintbrush design challenge Aligned to kindergarten standards

  9. Animal rescue design problem Aligned to 3rd grade standards

  10. Pathway To Engineering Collaborative, rigorous, and relevant, PTE students solve open-ended problems; learn and apply the engineering design process; and develop teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills.

  11. Pathway To Engineering Courses: • Introduction to Engineering Design • Principles of Engineering • Digital Electronics • Aerospace Engineering • Biotechnical Engineering • Civil Engineering and Architecture • Computer Integrated Manufacturing • Engineering Design and Development

  12. Pathway To Engineering Changes: • Biotechnical Engineering • Summer 2014 last CIT • No EOC spring 2016 & 2017 • PLTW will support till end of 2016-2017 • Biological Engineering (BioE) • Pilot training summer 2014 • Summer 2015 CIT in BioE • BioE launches fall 2015 • EOC assessments begin spring 2016

  13. Pathway To Engineering New Course will become New Program: • Computer Science & Software Engineering • Piloting across the US • CIT summer 2014 • EOC spring 2015 • Sequential program • New class each year until program is grown

  14. We continue to improve. Every day. PLTW follows a continuous improvement model. Teachers can expect to see improvements in course material each year. New, future-reaching programs and delivery models are constantly in development.

  15. So, does it work? YES. PLTW students achieve significantly higher scores in reading, mathematics, and science, and in some cases, have the opportunity to receive college credit.

  16. So, does it work? PLTW alumni study engineering and technology in greater numbers than the national average, with a higher retention rate in college engineering, science, and related programs than non-PLTW students.
