PTC Design & Technology in Schools Program

Our PTC Design & Technology in Schools Program introduces students to 3D design technology as early as middle school so they can become better problem solvers, critical thinkers and collaborators.

To date, over 3.2 million students worldwide have used PTC software in the classroom, and PTC's program is credited with transforming the study of design in several inner-city schools, closing the gender gap in test scores, and changing the way thousands of kids think about learning.

“The Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire user interface brings a real life design approach to the 3D modeler by putting all the feature functionality at the user's discretion…All this will enable the user to concentrate on the design task instead of software operations”. Dennis Steffen – Plantation Key Design, Author of Inside Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire

“The creation of a cross-functional product team is a breakthrough in the design of a useful, usable and satisfying system.”

Chauncey Wilson, Director Bentley College Design and Usability Testing Center
