Join fellow educators and partners from across Indiana for the Indiana PLTW Connection Conference—an energizing opportunity to share what works, explore what’s new, and strengthen pathways that help students thrive. You’ll experience practical best‑practice sessions, PLTW program updates, new‑course showcases, and hands‑on learning alongside leaders from K–12, higher education, industry, and the community.

This free two‑day experience brings together teachers and community partners to collaborate, learn, and build stronger student pathways. Your experience will include:

  • Strategies for developing employability and work‑based learning skills that help students build and demonstrate transferable competencies.
  • PLTW guidance for Indiana’s new diploma + Readiness Seals, including state updates and how PLTW supports a smooth transition to new requirements.
  • Best practices for strengthening K–12, higher ed, and industry partnerships to make pathways visible, aligned, and connected to Indiana’s priority sectors and student opportunities.
