Projet Lead The Way (PLTW) is more than just another high school engineering class. Per U.S. News STEM Solutions Summit, 2012, PLTW is about applying science, technology, engineering, and math through a project-based, hands-on approach to solve complex, open-ended problems, in a real-world context. Students who successfully complete one or all of these courses AND score a specific score on the final are eligible for college credit at some colleges and universities.
