Sample curriculum
PLTW offers two programs: Pathway to Engineering for the high school and Gateway To Technology for the middle school.
As you review our samplers, you will see each course has a series of lessons which provide an introduction, a list of concepts, specific national standards in math, science, technology and English/language arts for the lessons, objectives, essential questions, key terms, day-by-day activities, and instructional resources.
