PLTW's approach to learning involves hands-on activities, projects, and problem-based learning. Students are encouraged to work collaboratively, identify problems, and find solutions. PLTW Launch uses activities, projects, and problems that are real-world related and build on each other. Students learn through exploration and discovery, and apply STEM knowledge, skills, and habits of mind.
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.
