Gateway To Technology
Gateway To Technology (GTT) is intended for grades six through eight and is offered as independent, nine-week units that explore aerospace, energy, the environment, modeling, robotics, technology and other STEM-related topics. The activities-oriented curriculum challenges and engages the natural curiosity of students. GTT units, taught in conjunction with a rigorous academic curriculum, are designed to spark an interest in STEM subjects and prepare students for further study in high school. GTT is a natural lead in to PLTW’s Pathway To Engineering and Biomedical Sciences Programs.
