Faces of PLTWCa: view all

We want to get to know you. You make our PLTWCa community awesome, so share your background and what drives you and we will showcase you as a part of our “Faces of PLTWCa“. A photo of yourself and a brief write up is required.

PLTWCa Invent:

Foster the inventive spirit of our PLTWCa students by sharing this program with them and encouraging them to submit their invention ideas online. All of their inventions will remain theirs and will stay private until an annual winner is decided. We will have the pleasure of working with Yuval Shenkal, a 20-year invention veteran with the skills and resources to help secure patents (if necessary) and bring invention ideas to life. This is more than a science fair, it is “PLTWCa Invent” and the intention is to impact the world.

PLTWCa 365/2:

We are looking for a dedicated group of people to write about PLTWCa. Anything from your thoughts, your experiences, successes, challenges, training, conferences and classroom work. We want to share the greatness of PLTWCa with the world and we need your help to make it happen. Just sign up for a new account and start creating your blog at http://pltwcalifornia.org/secure. Submit the name of your blog to us so we can track and spread your blog across the web.

PLTW DIY:

We have a brilliant PLTWCa community and we know that our community knows how to DIY. So, we are calling for you and your students to show off your DO It Yourself projects in three easy ways: Step-by-step write up (Microsoft word format), photos (you can also upload and store your photos HERE) and videos (upload your videos HERE and send us the link).
