Project Lead the Way: for Pathway VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

PLTW Engineering empowers students to step into the role of an engineer, adopt a problem-solving mindset and make the leap from dreamers to doers. The program’ s courses engage students in compelling, real-world challenges that help them become better collaborators and thinkers. From launching space explorations to delivering safe, clean water to communities, engineers find solutions to pressing problems and turn their ideas into reality. Students take from the courses in-demand knowledge and skills they will use in high school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take.
