Bicycle Friendly Communities

Project Bike Tech is a national nonprofit organization that supports STEAM and CTE education by delivering turnkey instructional solutions for High Schools. Our curriculum promotes hands-on learning, with the bicycle serving as the laboratory for experimentation, and with the classroom as the forum for critical thinking.  PBT graduates find their path forward to post-secondary education and new career opportunities that build sustainable communities.

Each Project Bike Tech classroom includes student workstations stocked with a complete range of tools, a workbench, bikes, and workshop supplies.  Our curriculum is developed with and endorsed by industry leaders and has been approved for college credit in some states. Our Level 1 and 2 curricula include experiential learning opportunities that teach students mechanical concepts, problem solving, and preparation students for real-world professional work.  Our Programs also introduce youth to the lifelong health benefits of a bicycling lifestyle.

Since beginning in 2007 in Santa Cruz, CA, we have grown to a national scale with over 40 schools in 13 states.

We are absolutely honored to be included as a resource on this year’s Bicycle Friendly Communities application. If there is not a PBT school near you yet, we would love to hear from you and discuss how to get a school started in your community.
