Project Overview
Welcome, Educators! The PIT Case Files transform complex science into compelling narratives. The Prairies Institute of Technology (PIT) is committed to solving regional economic challenges. Use this hub to find resources that connect classroom science directly to high-wage, regional engineering careers.
Question: What is the goal of the PIT Case Files?
Answer: To connect Grades 6-10 STEM curriculum (NGSS) with high-wage careers in Materials Processing Technology.
Question: Are the characters and events real?
Answer: The characters (Dr. Chavez, Leo, Finn) and the companies (PECG, HDT, etc.) are fictional. The science, economic challenges, and engineering principles are entirely real and are based on current research.
Question: Where can I download the free curriculum guide?
Answer: The free Case File 001 Correlative Guide is available below. This resource aligns the story to required science standards.
