Project Lead The Way

Since the 2021-2022 school year, Manasquan High School has been proud to partner with Project Lead the Way (PLTW). Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is a national non-profit organization that empowers students in grades K – 12 with in-demand, transportable skills. Qualified Manasquan High School students will have the option to engage in college-level engineering & biomedical courses and earn college credits while still on our high school campus. These courses are taught by Manasquan High School teachers who have been certified by PLTW as adjunct faculty members for their respective PLTW courses.

Engineering Curriculum:

"PLTW Engineering students adopt a problem-solving mindset, are engaged in compelling, real-world challenges that help them become better collaborators and thinkers, and are prepared with skills to step into any career path they take. Each PLTW Engineering course engages students in interdisciplinary activities like working with a client to design a home, programming electronic devices or robotic arms, or exploring algae as a biofuel source. These activities not only build knowledge and skills in engineering, but also empower students to develop essential skills such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, and perseverance."

Biomedical Science Curriculum:

"PLTW Biomedical Science students have experience with state-of-the-art tools and techniques that are used by professionals in hospitals and labs every day. By immersing students in activities like practicing suturing and constructing body structures from clay, PLTW Biomedical Science empowers students to build knowledge and skills in biomedical science, as well as in-demand, transportable skills like problem solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, and collaboration."
