Project Lead The Way

Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is an organization focused on empowering students and transforming the teaching experience. Since its inception in 1997, PLTW has expanded from a high school engineering program to offering comprehensive PreK-12 pathways in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science. The organization's world-class, activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum enables students to apply their knowledge, identify problems, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning. This approach contrasts with the traditional question-and-answer, right-or-wrong learning environment. A unique aspect of PLTW's programs is the engaging, rigorous professional development for teachers. Offering five programs of study, including PLTW Launch, PLTW Gateway, PLTW Biomedical Science, PLTW Computer Science, and PLTW Engineering, the organization currently has 14,000 programs in 11,500 schools, serving millions of students and training over 55,000 teachers. Operating from the United States, PLTW's dedication to creating an engaging classroom environment sets it apart by empowering students with real-world experience. As of now, there is no public information available regarding the last investment and investors for PLTW.
