Why
Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is a not-for-profit organization partnering with public schools, organizations in the private sector, and higher education institutions to increase the number and quality of engineers graduating from our educational system.
PLTW provides a pre-engineering sequence of course work for high school and middle school students. PLTW courses utilize project- and problem-based learning that teaches students how to apply what they are learning to real-life situations.
