The class is part of the Avondale School District partnership with the national organization, Project Lead the Way (PLTW). Avondale High School is one of only a handful of high schools offering the PLTW curriculum in Michigan. PLTW, is a course of study developed to address the disparity between the number of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) -related careers and the number of students graduating from high school and college prepared to enter into those careers. PLTW is a hands-on STEM curriculum that engages students in activities, projects, and problem-based learning and is designed to promote critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and real-world problem solving. The program also strives to increase participation in STEM studies by demographic groups that have not historically participated like female students and some minorities.
