2009 EAST Conference Slideshow

The three day EAST Conference brought more than 170 EAST programs and close to 2,000 students from around the nation for a three day celebration of student achievement. EAST, which stands for Environmental and Spatial Technology, is based on the belief that students can go well beyond what has ever been expected when given the proper learning atmosphere, appropriate tools and resources, access to real-world problems and support. EAST programs (www.EASTinitiative.org) are comprised of a diversity of all students not just a select few. EAST is best described as a performance based learning environment that utilizes problem-based service learning and advanced technological applications.

This means that EAST is a vibrant class that stresses real world application to
the traditional school learning. The class is structured around students taking
on specific projects that can help their schools and communities. They use the
capabilities of a sophisticated computer laboratory as a resource to accomplish
these goals.
