Our Mission

Empower Students to Thrive in an Evolving World

Inspiring PreK-12 Students and Teachers in Thousands of Schools Across the U.S.

We believe all students – beginning at a young age – need access to real-world, applied learning experiences that empower them to gain the skills they need to thrive in college, career, and beyond.

Through our programs, students develop in-demand, transportable skills – such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, collaboration, and communication – that they will use both in school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take. As PLTW students progress through grades PreK-12, they are empowered to explore career paths.

As a nonprofit created by teachers and led by educators, we know the immeasurable role teachers play in empowering students every day.
