Approximately 15 million students will be enrolled in high-school in the Fall of 2020, of which 45 percent will attend online, with an additional 48 percent not yet determined. Students across the nation need full access to experience both virtual and hands-on components of the PLTW Introduction to Engineering Design curriculum whether in a brick-and-mortar setting or via remote instruction. How can we provide a practical solution that aligns with the CDC Considerations for Schools, for an individual kit, that would facilitate PLTW curriculum and not require families to shoulder an additional financial burden for the procurement of hands-on materials?

"We all kind of understand that some kids struggle with online learning. It's not necessarily the best solution for all kids. This project is vital and will have a lot of engagement. Asking kids to build and do hands-on engineering will make them much more engaged than just the theoretical. You'll have buy in from students."

"I love the idea. A kit to start with would make students feel much more comfortable [in completing the hands-on challenges]"

"It’s a good idea because kids take in info when they are physically doing something...It would make the class more fun and I would look forward to that class."
