Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is the nation’s leading provider of rigorous and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education for junior high and high school students. PLTW’s comprehensive curriculum is collaboratively developed by PLTW teachers, university educators, engineering and biomedical professionals, and school administrators. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and real-world problem solving.

The hands-on, project-based program engages students on multiple levels, exposes them to areas of study that they typically would not pursue and provides them with a foundation and proven path to college and career success in STEM related fields.
