I would like to be in the PLTW Pathway at Folsom Middle School for many reasons. My teacher, Mr.Schiele, teaches us PLTW. He won the 2015-2016 PLTW Teacher of the Year Award of the State of California. We (the students) are proud of him. We have more hands-on experience. The students actually do it themselves.

PLTW and STEM are the foundation of my learning. The Pathway is the road to my…
