Project Lead the way (PLTW) Engineering

Current Grade 8 students who live in the following HS clusters: Clarksburg, Damascus, Gaithersburg, Northwest, Poolesville, Quince Orchard, Seneca Valley, Watkins Mill, and Magruder may apply for this program. Regional Application Programs and requirements: High School Regional/Countywide Application Programs At-A-Glance  

PLTW Engineering students learn and apply the design process, develop strong teamwork and communication skills, and are challenged to think critically and solve problems that are relevant to the field of engineering. Students discover answers to questions about how things are made and what processes go into creating products. Students use the same industry-leading 3D design software used by companies like Intel, Lockheed Martin, and Pixar. They explore aerodynamics, astronautics, and space Life Sciences. Students design, test, and construct circuit and basic electronic devices and work collaboratively on the culminating capstone project.
