Why submit student work?

  • icon/score betterCreated with Sketch.

    Students take even more pride in their work when they share it with industry.

    Student-Industry Connects provides an easy way for your students to show off their hard work to an authentic industry audience! These connections help make coursework more motivating, engaging, and meaningful.

  • Industry professionals reinforce what you tell your students every day.

    You teach your students about the big and the little things that matter in delivering a quality applied learning project – from providing context and labeling drawings to commenting on code. See those lessons reinforced with authentic feedback from an industry professional – delivered in a way that helps students see how applying what they learn actually makes a difference in the world.

  • This is your ticket to a classroom visit from an industry professional.

    After students submit OSE and PLTW work, your class will be connected with an engineer, data scientist, biomedical researcher, or product designer for a classroom visit.

Past Student Submission Examples

Why submit student work for real-world feedback?

Students find industry feedback meaningful, motivating, and validating. But don’t take it from us.

Hear directly from students about their experiences receiving real-world feedback from industry professionals.

This is the type of feedback and experience I want for my students but have little bandwidth to coordinate myself. It makes a big difference."
