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 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
“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”.
