SY24-25 One8 Applied Learning Student Showcase

NOTE: We have received more interest in PTLW Gateway programs than anticipated, and registration for PLTW Gateway is currently closed. Registration for all other programs remains open for Showcase 2025. Please reach out to Julia ([email protected]) with questions.

Applied Learning inspires learning with the thrill of discovery.  What better way to culminate the year than with a student showcase?  Student teams will each have a table to present their project and 500+ industry professionals will circulate and talk with student groups — offering them verbal and written feedback.

Programs Included:

Schools have the chance to bring teams from multiple Applied Learning programs at the showcase. Schools can bring the following number of teams per program:

• DKP, Investigating History, OpenSciEd, PBLWorks, PLTW Launch (4^th & 5^th grade only), PLTW Gateway (currently closed), PLTW Biomed, PLTW CS, PLTW Engineering*, ST Math (4^th & 5^th grade only): 3 teams per program
• PLTW Capstone (EDD, BI, & Common Capstone): unlimited**

Info needed to register:

Register by April 4th to secure spots for your student teams at Showcase.  Each program should complete one registration form, meaning your school may submit multiple registration forms (e.g., one form for OSE and one form for PLTW Gateway for a total of 2 forms submitted).

In the form, schools will be asked to provide:

• Contact info for the chaperone point person; there should be one chaperone point person per program (e.g., if your school is bringing OSE and PLTW Gateway, you should have two chaperones who will attend Showcase with students – they are each responsible for filling out a registration form for their respective program)
• Number of teams participating
• Estimated number of students
• Types of projects teams are expected to bring (see list of eligible projects here)
• A plan for how teams will be selected
• If other programs from the school are expected to participate

You will be asked to provide additional information about the teams who will attend the Showcase by April 18th.

Interested in Showcase but unable to bring students this year?  Register as an Educator Visitor here in order to attend Showcase without students and learn how you can make the most of Applied Learning programming.
