During high school, I was able to participate in the Introduction to Engineering Design PLTW course. In the class, I learned skills related to sketching, brainstorming, modeling, and design. After being exposed to these more technical and engineering-based skills, I decided that I wanted to pursue a major that included these along with more science-based aspects. Through PLTW, I was exposed to many different potential STEM careers and was also first introduced to RIT. I now major in Packaging Science at RIT and am happy to have participated in a PLTW class!
