Project Lead The Way (PLTW)
Description:
The Gateway to Technology (GTT) curriculum provides project-based learning — a hands-on approach — that relates technology to students’ daily lives. Design and Modeling (DM) is the first foundational course in the GTT series of courses. Students discover the design process and develop an understanding of the influence of creativity and innovation in their lives. They are then challenged and empowered to use and apply what they have learned throughout the unit to design a therapeutic toy for a child who has cerebral palsy, use measurement to construct and test a skimmer and use the entire engineering design process to design, build, and test a puzzle cube.
