The PLTW Engineering and Biomedical Sciences programs offer students an array of advantages, from career readiness and hands-on experience to college preparatory–level classes, labs, and creative exercises. Our programs are designed to appeal to all students, from those already interested in STEM-related fields, to those whose experience in the sciences and math has been less comprehensive or who find themselves uninterested in traditional STEM curricula. PLTW classes are hands-on, based in real-world experience, and fun for students and teachers. We set the highest standards for rigorous, focused, and engaging study, developing students’ innovative, collaborative, cooperative, and problem-solving skills.

PLTW helps create better students, better teachers, better learning environments, and a better world.
