PLTW - Gateway to Technology
This is a global curriculum designed to introduce Engineering principles to middle school students. There are PLTW classes at all of the High Schools in Davenport as well. Students taking a PLTW class will be prepared to work with a team, think through a design, and apply the principles of design to solve real world problems.
