Congratulations! You’re even closer to creating an engaging environment for your students that empowers them to develop the in-demand knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in an evolving world. 

Joining the PLTW network means you’re part of a community united around a passion for providing students with inspiring, engaging, and empowering learning opportunities. Once you add PLTW to your district or school, you have access to curriculum, assessments, teacher training, and ongoing program support. PLTW students are afforded a variety of opportunities including scholarships, preferred admission at colleges and universities, industry connections, and avenues to highlight achievements. 

Get started today:


  1. Choose the Best Programs for Your District or School
