Project Lead The Way and Vernier

Over the years, Vernier has developed a strong partnership with Project Lead The Way. We value their mission to prepare students for the global economy.

By providing a comprehensive curriculum package based on national standards, focusing on teacher training, and integrating Vernier technology, the PLTW Biomedical, Engineering, and Computer Science programs are extremely valuable for schools integrating hands-on, project-based curriculum.

PLTW Biomedical Science

Whether discovering cancer treatments or teaching communities about healthy lifestyle choices, today’s biomedical science professionals are tackling big challenges to make the world a better place.

PLTW Biomedical Science students are taking on these same real-world challenges—and they’re doing it before they even graduate from high school. Working with the same tools used by professionals in hospitals and labs, students engage in compelling, hands-on activities and work together to find solutions to problems. In their courses, students develop in-demand knowledge and skills they will use in high school and for the rest of their lives—on any career path they take.

PLTW Engineering

From launching space explorations to delivering safe, clean water to communities, engineers find solutions to pressing problems and turn their ideas into reality. 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. In their courses, students develop in-demand knowledge and skills they will use in high school and for the rest of their lives—on any career path they take.

PLTW Computer Science

At a time when computer science affects how we work and live, PLTW Computer Science empowers students in grades 9–12 to become creators (instead of merely consumers) of the technology all around them.

The program’s interdisciplinary courses engage students in compelling, real-world challenges. As students work together to design solutions, they learn computational thinking—not just how to code—and become better thinkers and communicators. In their courses, students develop in-demand knowledge and skills they will use in high school and for the rest of their lives—on any career path they take.

PLTW Gateway

Middle school is a time of exploration, when students are figuring out what they are passionate about today and how that relates to who they will become tomorrow.

During this transitional time, PLTW Gateway’s 10 units empower students to lead their own discovery. The hands-on program boosts classroom engagement and excitement, drives collaboration, and inspires “aha! moments” and deep comprehension. And as students engage in PLTW’s activities in computer science, engineering, and biomedical science, they see a range of paths and possibilities they can look forward to in high school and beyond.

To ensure that the more than 5 million Spanish-speaking students in the United States have access to this transformative learning experience, we offer all PLTW Gateway units and teacher resources in both English and Spanish.
