launch

This year Concord students will LAUNCH into learning about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).  As part of a pilot program at Lindbergh Schools, Concord and Dressel students will attend the Launch class during their block schedule about once a week.  The LAUNCH program is part of Project Lead the Way (PLTW), a curriculum that helps students use a design-thinking mindset to complete hands-on activities and challenges while collaborating with their peers and learning 21st century skills.  The PLTW curriculum is also available in the middle and high school so students can continue their learning as they grow.  More information about the Launch program can be found at https://www.pltw.org/our-programs/pltw-launch.  You can follow the Launch classroom at Concord by visiting the website and blog at http://concordlaunch.weebly.com/ or by following Concord Launch on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/concordlaunch/.  We look forward to a great year of STEM learning!
