STLP IS YOUR
WHOLE SCHOOL

Empowering KY’s Students for 25+ years!

The Kentucky Department of Education’s Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) uses project-based learning principles to empower student learning and achievement. STLP provides a means for student to design, make, connect and learn through technology utilization and creation of original digital content.

Student products, projects, and services are showcased through local, regional, and state events. The “Big 3” events include Regionals, DPOJ, and STLP State Championship.

Open and available to every K-12 student in Kentucky,
STLP is more than a club… it’s your whole school!
