What is GTT PLTW?

PLTW Gateway Sparks Engagement and Illuminates Possibilities (via pltw.org)

The Gateway To Technology or GTT program addresses the interest and energy of middle school students while incorporating national standards in mathematics, science, and technology. This activity-oriented, cutting-edge program shows students how technology is used in engineering to solve everyday problems. GTT currently consists of eight instructional units that motivate students to become creative innovators. During the GTT experience, students will gain the skills they need to develop, produce, and use products and services.

The Gateway To Technology curriculum provides project-based learning – a hands-on approach – that is exciting and challenging for the full range of students in today’s grade 6 – 8 classrooms. The curriculum relates technology to students’ daily lives. It promotes communication and collaboration by emphasizing a teaming approach in the instructional units. This approach utilizes the strengths of each team member to accomplish the goals of the project while offering students learning challenges at all ability levels.
