Calculating the Costs of the PLTW Program

The following is a break down of equipment and materials costs for each of the PLTW courses based on estimates. These estimates are based on several assumptions that may not be true for your school:

  • Furniture costs are based on a "bare walls" lab;
  • The prices are based on 26 students per class
  • Computers are included in the equipment cost column;
  • Consumable prices are based on class sizes of 26 and must be multiplied by the number of sections taught;
  • Resource materials, such as textbooks, laboratory manuals, instruction software, etc., are not included in the below prices;
  • All Fischertechnik items are included under the equipment costs.
