Project Bike Tech (PBT) uses bicycle education as a conduit to teach core academics, enhance lives, create career opportunities, and inspire new generations to be passionate about bikes. It is the only program of its kind in the country and it is the on-ramp for young adults to develop a life-long engagement with the bicycle lifestyle while learning key academic concepts.

PBT’s primary program, Bike Tech in School, is an accredited high school elective that uses bicycle mechanics as a conduit to teach Common CORE and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) elements to students. Project Bike Tech’s proprietary curriculum is currently classified under the Transportation Sector of Career Technical Education as an Introduction to Systems Diagnostics, Service, and Repair.  The class also incorporates career-building skills and techniques as a component of class. Students leave the course knowing the basics of portfolio building, resume writing, and interview tactics.
