Xtranormal Design Charrette Discussion by MH.mp4How does an APB based technology education course function?
An Activity-, Project-, Problem-based (APB) approach focuses on presenting hands-on, real-world issues to students providing them with the opportunity to develop their 21st century skill sets. Students who embrace the experience become independent, confident, life-long problem solvers who, through applied learning, thrive in high school, college and career.

Project Lead the Way High School Curriculum
Engineering Design and Development (senior year):
Students identify a real-world challenge and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their unique solutions to a panel of engineers.
Civil Engineering and Architecture (junior year):
Students learn important aspects of building and site design and development, and then they apply what they know to design a residential and a commercial building.
Digital Electronics (junior year):
Students explore the foundations of computing by engaging in circuit design processes to create combinational logic and sequential logic (memory) as electrical engineers do in the industry.
Introduction to Engineering/Design and Drawing for Production (freshman year):
Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects like designing a new toy or improving an existing product.
Project Lead the Way Gateway to Technology Middle School Curriculum
Design and Modeling (8th grade):
Students discover the design process and develop an understanding of the influence of creativity and innovation in their lives. They are then challenged and empowered to use and apply what they've learned throughout the unit to design various products.
Introduction to Computer Science (8th grade):
This unit exposes students to computer science as a means of computationally analyzing and developing solutions to authentic problems through mobile app development, and conveys the positive impact of the application of computer science to other disciplines and to society.
