Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is a nonprofit organization that provides a transformative learning experience for K-12 students and teachers, and Archbishop Curley joins more than 8,000 schools across the U.S. in offering PLTW programs to students.
PLTW Engineering empowers students to step into the role of an engineer, adopt a problem-solving mindset, and make the leap from dreamers to doers. The program engages students in collaborative, real-life activities like working with a client to design a home, using a flight simulator to learn basic pilot skills, or exploring algae as a biofuel source. As students work together to imagine and design solutions to local and global challenges, they test their limits and question what’s possible. And by pushing themselves to rework and refine their projects, PLTW Engineering students learn that both failure and perseverance are key to learning and innovation.
