Re: FIRST and PLTW
We began with PLTW in 1999 and soon after I started our FIRST team. I have taught all of the core PLTW courses and can see many links between the 2 programs. They both can obviously exist independently but together students get more opportunities to apply learning. Because of the 2 programs I now have many students working toward science, technology, and engineering careers. Our first batch of graduates are starting to enter the workforce and find great jobs.
I have had many students work on Robotics related projects in all classes and especially EDD. Some schools actually use EDD as a place to do the FIRST program.
