How to Create a myPLTW Account & Register for PLTW Core… | PLTW

We know you’re eager to register for PLTW Core Training, and we can’t wait for you to experience it. To register for PLTW Core Training, teachers must have a myPLTW account. This account gives teachers access to curriculum, the PLTW Store, Community, announcements, and more.

In the process of creating an account, the teacher will request to join a school site, which their Program Coordinator or Site Coordinator will approve from their own myPLTW account. Note that a teacher must join a site to pay for PLTW Core Training with a purchase order. Teachers can check out as a guest without joining a site, but they must pay for the event with a credit card.
