STEM talk gives overview of Project Lead the Way

PLTW program are among seven programs endorsed by the Massachusetts Governor's STEM Council as an @scale STEM program. Malstrom will provide a one-hour overview information session about the three PLTW programs: Gateway To Technology, Pathway To Engineering, and Biomedical Sciences.

 

The Gateway To Technology program is for middle schools and consists of eight separate units that introduce students to the engineering design process, automation, robotics, alternative energy technology, aeronautics, and medical research. The two high school programs each consist of multiple full-year courses, and eligible students in the courses can college recognition for their work through college credit, scholarships, and preferred admission opportunities. When the middle school program is combined with one of the high school programs, students have a pathway from sixth grade to high school graduation that prepares them for a STEM-related career or college major.
