We are at a critical moment in American economic and educational history. A tremendous amount of money is being spent for mathematics and science education. Without focused efforts to reignite the creativity and imagination of our nation's youngsters we create unimaginative engineers, technologists, scientists, and mathematicians. America faces a creativity crisis: students who can solve the "book" problems but cannot apply their knowledge and skills to solve the ever increasing problems facing our nation.The nationally recognized Project Lead The Way curriculum (adopted by Friendswood ISD) provides the imagination and invention education our students need to solve the world's problems.
