EAST is an innovative
project-based learning environment in which students work together in
a collaborative setting using current, high-end technologies. The
class is structured around students developing specific projects to
improve their school and community. Students use the capabilities of a
sophisticated computer laboratory as a resource to accomplish their goals.
EAST exists in an interdisciplinary laboratory environment where
the intellectual and problem-solving growth of students is the focus. The
EAST Program is a nationally-recognized initiative which exposes students
to strategies that help move them from the traditional self-centered
approaches to learning into a more realistic, interdependent environment
that stresses understanding, collaboration, and team approaches to problem
resolution.
