NEEDHAM, Mass., March 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- High school students

world's leading companies through a new sales program created by PTC and
Journey Educational Marketing.
The PTC Schools Plus program sells high schools two-year educational
licenses for Pro/ENGINEER(R) Wildfire(TM), the world's most advanced
engineering software. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, PTC's industry-leading product

Industry Week magazine. Two-year licenses are available for $2,000 for 50
seats, $2,500 for 75 seats and $3,000 for 100 seats.
"Schools Plus will make real-life design experiences possible for students
who are preparing to study engineering in college or to enter the work force
right out of high school," said John Stuart, senior vice president of
education and partners at PTC. "We chose Journey as our partner because of
their excellent track record in supporting the software needs of educational
institutions."
Michael Fischler, president and chief executive officer of Journey, said,
"We're pleased to be able to offer high school students the opportunity to
take advantage of this exceptional software product at a significantly
discounted price."
A number of secondary schools in the United States are already
successfully teaching with Pro/ENGINEER. Schools Plus is the third and newest
component of PTC's global education programs, which in 2003 won the company

giver among American corporations.
