Project "Lead the Way"

Project Lead The Way is all about teaching and learning. The hands-on, project and problem-based PLTW approach adds rigor to traditional technical programs and relevance to traditional academics. 

PLTW's curriculum makes math and science relevant for students. By engaging in hands-on, real-world projects, students understand how the skills they are learning in the classroom can be applied in everyday life. This approach is called activities-based learning, project-based learning, and problem-based learning or APPB-learning.

As students progress through the sequence they will become proficient in:

  • Working as a contributing member of a team
  • Leading a team
  • Using appropriate written and/or visual mediums to communicate with a wide variety of audiences
  • Public speaking
  • Listening to the needs and ideas of others
  • Understanding the potential impact their ideas and products may have on society
  • Thinking
  • Problem solving
  • Managing time, resources and projects
  • Researching
  • Going beyond the classroom for answers
  • Data collection and analysis
  • Preparing for two- and four-year college programs
