What Students do Well in PLTW?

Students Who:

• Show interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math) career fields.

• Are creative – Like art and design.

• Enjoy working with computers.

• Learn best in “hands-on” classes.

• Are in the upper 80% of their class.

Why Do We Need PLTW?

The United States ranks 17th in science

achievement; 25th in math ability out of 65

countries.

By 2018…

– STEM jobs will grow by 17 percent

– 1.2 million STEM jobs will go unfilled

Early Access Matters

percent of scientists and graduate

students in a 2010 study stated that their

interest in science began before middle

school.

LAUNCH K-5

PLTW Launch

Launch is an integrated STEM program that is

hands-on, engaging and meets Common Core and

NGSS for students in grades K-5.

• Magic of Electrons (ME): Through hands-on projects, students explore the science of electricity, behavior and parts of atoms, and sensing devices. Students acquire knowledge and skills in basic circuitry design and examine the impact of electricity on our lives.

PLTW Gateway

Specialization Units:

• Science of Technology (ST): How has science affected technology throughout history? To answer this question students apply the concepts in physics, chemistry and nanotechnology to STEM activities and projects.

• Medical Detectives (MD): Medical Detectives (MD) explore the biomedical sciences through hands-on projects and labs that require students to solve a variety of medical mysteries. Students investigate medical careers, vital signs, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, as well as human body systems such as the nervous system.

MD 2014

• Energy and the Environment

(EE): Students investigate the

impact of energy on our lives and

the environment. They design and

model alternative energy sources

and participate in an energy expo.

to demonstrate energy concepts

and innovative ideas.

• Green Architecture (GA): In this unit, students are introduced to architectural plans, construction styles, alternative materials and processes, dimensioning, measuring and architectural sustainability. Students use a 3D architectural software program to create an environmentally friendly home using shipping containers.

PLTW Gateway

Specialization Units:

• Introduction to Computer

Science 1 (ICS 1): Students

discover the principles of this fast-

growing field by focusing on

creativity and an iterative design

process as they create their own

basic apps using MIT App Inventor.

• Introduction to Computer Science 2 (ICS 2): Students continue to explore the fundamentals of the stimulating career path of computer science. They venture into text programming through Python and, in the final problem, develop an app to crowdsource and analyze data on a topic of their interest.

Chevron’s Partnership with

Project Lead The Way

Chevron champions science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)

education in the U.S. from K to 12 and beyond. Through our programs and

strategic partnerships, we help students and teachers get the tools and

resources they need to take advantage of every opportunity STEM offers.

“PLTW did not find us, we found them! PLTW is the premier

STEM program in the U.S. to Toyota officials for two main

reasons. Students are engaged EVERY DAY in problem

solving activities and work EVERY DAY in teams! We also

know that PLTW maintains its up-to-date curriculum, provides

a unique and rigorous teacher professional development

model, and their schools are certified for quality. We actively

recruit PLTW Students.”

Research Findings

Making a Difference in Students’ Lives

High school graduates

who participated in PLTW

were nearly three times

as likely to major in

STEM, and 3 to 4 times

more likely to study

engineering, versus non-

PLTW graduates.

PLTW students are more

prepared for and

attended higher

education institutions at

a higher rate and scored

higher on the state’s

mathematics

assessment.

Many engineering

universities report high

and increasing levels of

PLTW student

enrollment.

PLTW contributes to a strong, positive impact on mathematics and science

achievement and offers a pathway to prepare and motivate students to enter

careers in science and engineering.
