Children gather around a table displaying colorful science projects about the brain, with cafeteria tables visible in the background.
A child's open workbook with weather-related vocabulary in the foreground is next to a completed worksheet featuring a globe and animal adaptations in the background.
In the foreground, children are interacting with tablets and robotic toys on a table, while in the background, other children and adults observe and participate in an activity.
Miniature houses made of bread and cardboard sit on white boards in the foreground, while people stand behind a long table in the background.
Several worksheets with a globe graphic are laid out on a table in the foreground, with the legs of people standing in the background.

The goal of a STEM program is to integrate the four domains of science, technology, engineering and mathematics into effective classroom practices. Project Lead The Way (PLTW) programs in Horry County Schools (HCS) provide learning opportunities for K-12 students through a transformative curriculum focused on activity, project, and problem-based (ABP) instructional design that develops in-demand, transportable skills such as problem-solving, critical and creative thinking, collaboration, and communication in real-world, applied learning experiences. The program’s approach also provides students unique opportunities to work collaboratively, identify problems, apply what they know, persevere through challenges, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning.
