PLTW Overview
Project Lead the Way is the nation’s leading provider of rigorous STEM education for elementary, middle and high school students.
Seminole Science STEM Charter School is making an effort to prepare our students for the 21st century by implementing Project Lead the Way (PLTW) in elementary and middle school.
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) provides a comprehensive approach to STEM Education. Through an activity-based, a project-based, and a problem-based curriculum, PLTW gives students in kindergarten through eighth grade an opportunity to apply what they know, identify problems, find creative solutions, and guide their own learning.
PLTW Launch
Through PLTW Launch, our program for kindergarten through fifth grade, students become problem solvers. Students use structured approaches, like the engineering design process, and employ critical thinking. They apply STEM knowledge, skills, thinking habits, and learn that it is OK to take risks and make mistakes.
