Garden City Public Schools

Trojan Watch, a Garden City School District YouTube channel, recently featured a spotlight on the Project Lead the Way program at Garden City Middle School.

The PLTW course, taught by technology teacher Paul Cimmino, serves as the final technology experience for eighth graders. The class emphasizes real-world problem solving, hands-on challenges and collaborative STEM learning. After completing the introductory technology and PLTW courses, students may advance to the high school PLTW program, where they can earn college credit in a more specialized setting.

The Trojan Watch segment highlights the students’ orthosis boot project, in which eighth graders worked in teams to design, prototype and refine assistive devices. The feature showcases their design choices, collaboration and problem-solving throughout the process.
