PLEASE NOTE: ALL PLTW High School CAPSTONE STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO FILL OUT AN ONLINE MEDIA RELEASE FORM OR HAVE A PARENT/GUARDIAN SIGN THE FORM- the form will be sent out to educators closer to the event (no action needed yet!).  CAPSTONE STUDENTS WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW STUDENT PROJECTS AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK.


Note: other programs should still complete separate registration forms, but it's helpful to our planning to know what other programs to expect.




Which projects do you think your school might bring?  Early thinking is helpful in ensuring the projects your school plans to bring are eligible and will assist us in recruiting the most relevant industry volunteers for the projects being presented.








  • OpenSciEd: Students can present the final model, transfer task, and/or final designs from any of their 6-8 OSE units.
  • ST Math (grades 4&5): Present the One8 math connections project. Click here to learn more.
  • PBLWorks (grades 4-12): Schools in the SLN or PBLWorks Math pilot may bring final projects from a PBLWorks unit.
  • DKP: Stay tuned for more info!

Other Important Notes:
Transportation:
We recognize that transportation is a significant hurdle.  Ideas from other educators: ask families to help (they are welcome to attend the showcase), use the commuter rail/MBTA (the Boston Landing stop is nearby), and utilize passenger vans (there are nearby garages with a max height of 8 ft).  While we do not offer funding for transportation, we are supporting a limited number of regional transportation groups that allow multiple schools/districts to attend together.  Contact Heather at [email protected] for details.

Food:
Grab-and-go breakfast and a boxed lunch will be served.  Vegetarian and vegan options will be available.  For other dietary restrictions, please plan on bringing your own food.


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:

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

*PLTW Engineering programs participating in the Clean Energy Pilot Program may bring three additional Clean Energy teams (for a total of 6 PLTW Engineering teams)
**As long as you are bringing work from other classes as well, all projects are presented by teams (no individual projects)
Note: PLTW programs must have rostered in PLTW classes

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 point people who will also be attending Showcase – they are each responsible for filling out the 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 & plan for coordinating transportation

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