Since 1997, when Project Lead the Way (PLTW) was launched as an independent not-for-profit organization with 12 high schools participating, PLTW’s pre-engineering program has experienced rapid growth. By 2009, approximately 3,000 middle and high schools were participating in the effort, with 250,000 students enrolled in PLTW courses in engineering and biomedical sciences. This is a significant start on reaching the goal of producing 400,000 scientists and engineers annually. Today, there are more than 4,200 schools in all 50 states.
