In middle school, students survey different STEM careers and take classes like App inventors, Green Architecture, Medical detectives and more. This is an opportunity to use sophisticated programs and explore personal interests before choosing a STEM pathway upon entering high school.
Elementary students experience PLTW through LAUNCH activities embedded in the curriculum. These LAUNCH activities are designed to use hands on experiences to capitalize on natural curiosity and teach STEM concepts through experience.
