The PLTW middle and high school STEM education programs give students a brighter future by providing them with a foundation and proven path to college and career success in STEM-related fields. STEM education is at the heart of today's high-tech, high-skill global economy. PLTW partners with middle schools and high schools to provide rigorous, relevant STEM education. Through an engaging, hands-on curriculum, PLTW encourages the development of problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creative and innovative reasoning and a love of learning.

The PLTW® Gateway To Technology® (GTT) program is a middle school program offered in five independent, nine-week units and designed to help students explore math, science and technology. This activity-oriented program challenges and engages the natural curiosity of middle school students and is taught in conjunction with a rigorous academic curriculum.

The PLTW® Pathway To Engineering™ (PTE) program is a four-year high school sequence taught in conjunction with traditional math and science courses. PTE’s eight courses, including Digital Electronics™ and Civil Engineering™, provide students with in-depth, hands-on knowledge of engineering and technology-based careers.
