PLTW creates an engaging classroom environment unlike any other, empowering students with real-world experience.
About us
PLTW is an organization focused on empowering students and transforming the teaching experience – a proud tradition from the start of the organization that continues today. Since 1997, we have grown from a high school engineering program to offering comprehensive PreK-12 pathways in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science. PLTW’s world-class, activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum gives students a chance to apply what they know, identify problems, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning, rather than be passive recipients of information in a question-and-answer, right-or-wrong learning environment. In addition to our innovative curriculum, one of the most unique aspects of our programs is the engaging, rigorous professional development for teachers. We offer five programs of study: PLTW Launch (grades PreK-5), PLTW Gateway (middle school), PLTW Biomedical Science (high school), PLTW Computer Science (high school), and PLTW Engineering (high school). PLTW has 14,000 programs in 11,500 schools, serving millions of students and training over 55,000 teachers.

Post 1 of 2: There was WAY too much fun and inspiration at Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School for just one post! We had the distinct honor of recognizing Tanya Adkisson as our PLTW Biomedical Science Teacher Of The Year. We started the day with a greeting from some outstanding young leaders and then got to see Mrs. Adkisson in her happy place, as she taught a lesson in her classroom. Here's a look back at a wonderful day of celebration, of passion, of expertise, and of school pride!

AI is reshaping STEM education, and David Ross’s new Getting Smart Blog captures insights from leaders across the country on how this transformation is unfolding. From Texas to Hawaii, educators like Steven Zipkes and Casey Agena, Ed.D are blending AI with project-based learning and reimagining math pathways to empower students as creators and problem-solvers. As states adapt standards and embrace AI, leaders emphasize that equity and accessibility remain critical priorities. On a national level, initiatives like the @GENIUS Center aim to bridge achievement gaps by providing AI-powered learning tools and professional development for teachers. National leaders such as David L. Dimmett, Ed.D. and Erika Shugart highlight that preparing educators for AI integration is vital to the future of STEM.

Studies show that students in #PLTW courses outperform their peers in school, are better prepared for post-secondary studies, and are more likely to consider careers as scientists, technology experts, engineers, mathematicians, healthcare providers, and researchers compared to their non-PLTW peers. This Showcase is the perfect opportunity to see how educators elevate learning at their schools and make great things possible. #STEM #STEMeducation #healthcare #engineering #technology #science Join us! https://bit.ly/4hm3E3g
