	Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is a national non-profit organization established to help schools give students the knowledge they need to excel in high-tech fields.

A growing number of schools across the country are finding that PLTW's pre-engineering curriculum for high school is a simple solution. With its strong partnership concept, PLTW leverages the collective knowledge and efforts of secondary schools, colleges and universities, and industry to give students rigorous, relevant, reality-based knowledge to better prepare them for college. PLTW is centered around the idea of bringing pre-engineering curriculum and concepts to students through practical application while their opinions about careers and interests are still forming. What students say: "I saw engineering as a way to try something new and discover new things and new classes."
