Join Us

It was wonderful getting to see everyone on campus this October for our Annual Fall Conference, an event for PLTW educators – teachers & leaders. Conference featured hands-on activities, course specific breakout sessions, and networking opportunities. Fall Conference is the major Massachusetts PLTW community event of the year where attendees had the chance to connect with other PLTW educators from nearby districts and walk away with information about all of the PLTW happenings (events & PD) for the year.
