PROJECT LEAD THE WAY
KENTUCKY


FORGING THE INNOVATION GENERATION

Students

Imagine you could build a better world.

Would you work with doctors to make better tools to help sick people? Would you use your artistic talents to make beautiful and safe buildings and bridges? Would you find a way to make computers even faster, smaller, and easier to use? Would you travel to the moon, Mars, or beyond?

With Project Lead The Way, you don’t have to imagine. You can do those things—and much more—right now.

PLTW is about more than just science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It’s about learning real skills, solving real problems, and making real discoveries about the world. By working with your classmates, teachers, and parents, you can help create a learning experience unlike any other.

In PLTW classes, you work hands-on with technology that other students only read about. Instead of listening to a lecture about scientific principles and theories, you get to put them to the test in fun, exciting ways. You’ll build contraptions, learn about drafting and graphic design on the computer, use real lab equipment, and have fun while you’re doing it.

PLTW is about YOU.

A PLTW class is the first step on your life’s journey of imagination, innovation, and discovery. Start building a better world—and a better you—today.
