Project Lead the Way
Welcome to Project Lead the Way (PLTW). In this class...
Students apply the design process to solve problems and understand the influence of creativity
and innovation in their lives. They work in teams to design a playground and furniture, capturing
research and ideas in their engineering notebooks. Using Autodesk® design software, students
create a virtual image of their designs and produce a portfolio to showcase their innovative
solutions.
Students trace the history, development, and influence of automation and robotics as they learn
about mechanical systems, energy transfer, machine automation, and computer control systems.
Students use the VEX Robotics® platform to design, build, and program realworld objects such
as traffic lights, toll booths, and robotic arms.
