TABLE OF CONTENTS

School is in full swing and so is my desire to pull out all my fall fashions and watch a good football game! There is nothing like a nicely layered outfit to help you enjoy the holiday season–Halloween through my birthday, March 19th. Yes, I celebrate all the holidays in between, and now I tell myself that EAST Conference is just a three-day birthday party for me! So if you’ve never been or you’ll be attending in a new role, check out the #EASTCon20 page to learn more about my birthday party, *cough* I mean EAST Conference. ‘Tis also the season of Thanksgiving, and we are so thankful for all of the support we get from parents like Kim Johnson, community partners like Craig O’Neill, and student leaders like Anna Cavnor! We’re also thankful for national partnerships like TeachAids and great role models like John Chamberlain, Arkansas Philanthropist of the Year.

CRASH COURSE

NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP

WITH CRASHCOURSE Typically when you hear the term crash course, you prepare yourself for an overwhelming amount of information about a topic including pertinent facts and skills for you to be successful during implementation. When it comes to TeachAids’ new concussion education program, CrashCourse, you’re absolutely right except, instead of listening and reading an overwhelming amount of information, you are engaged and doing the things outlined along with people who are relatable! “How, you may ask?” Virtual Reality. Although not a new concept, TeachAids is using virtual reality (VR) to educate youth about the signs, symptoms, and long term effects of a concussion. TeachAids, a nonprofit organization founded in 2009 at Stanford University, was initially known for its development of global HIV prevention education and technology products. With the motto, Health Education Reimagined for Today’s Generation, TeachAids expanded its health education efforts to the world of student-athletes suffering from concussion symptoms and long term side effects in 2017. In December of 2018, Governor Asa Hutchinson, in partnership with TeachAids, announced that Arkansas will be the first state in the country to implement the concussion education program, CrashCourse, in every high school across the state. EAST was chosen as a viable partner to help successfully implement the program by Anthony Owen, Chief State STEM Officer and State Director of Computer Science Education.

After almost two years of planning and research product testing, TeachAids released CrashCourse educational content to be used with VR in August of 2019. According to Piya Socar, CEO of TeachAids, “With Governor Hutchinson at the forefront of bringing computer science/technology and education to the schools in Arkansas and our partnership with your state, we thought it would be special to release CrashCourse VR exclusively to the state of Arkansas.” A few weeks prior to the national launch date, TeachAids provided advanced activation codes of the CrashCourse VR content to educators in the EAST network to distribute to each middle and high school program. CrashCourse has set out to provide students, parents, and coaches with the latest medical knowledge on the prevention and treatment of concussions. The program empowers students to get involved with making the decision to keep playing after an injury or seek help. Even if the student has not experienced a concussion, the program teaches them to recognize the symptoms and signs in teammates.

COMFORT ZONE

Getting Kicked Out of My Comfort Zone One of the great things about the EAST experience is hearing student observations about their growth while in EAST. Former EAST Conference Leadership Team Ambassador Anna Cavnor shared her perspective and experience with several administrators attending a Vision Building Workshop (a workshop hosted by EAST that inspires decision-makers and provides an overview of how to add EAST where they are). Anna's thoughts on EAST and comfort zones made a strong impression on everyone in attendance. So strong, we asked her to share it here. My name is Anna Cavnor. I am a junior in EAST at North Little Rock High School (NLRHS). I have been in EAST for six years, and I can say with absolute certainty that being an EAST student has changed my life. The summer before sixth grade, my sister told me I would be accompanying her “to set up the EAST classroom” at North Little Rock Middle School (NLRMS). My face showed my confusion as I asked her “What is EAST?”, and actually, I am still trying to answer that question in a way that encompasses EVERYTHING. EAST is education accelerated by service and technology, but it does so much more. EAST is very different from any other class I have ever taken. It isn’t a class where I sit and take notes or solve equations for 90 minutes, but it is where possibilities become reality. For example, I no longer have to dream of making a virtual tour of my school, I actually did it. EAST takes you out of your comfort zone and makes the unknown, scary, “I don’t know if I can do this” area your new comfort zone. Being an EAST student means you need to be ready to be kicked out of your comfort zone, and be prepared to spread your wings and fly. For me, this experience happened when my team and I were asked to present our project at the Technology Information Center for Administrative Leadership (TICAL) Conference. By the end of that conference, my fear subsided a bit and I felt a little more comfortable speaking in front of a crowd. I had no clue that TICAL was just the beginning of the journey. More opportunities have come about and helped me establish a higher level of self-confidence including presenting to facilitators at EAST Seminar (a professional development conference held each summer for returning educators in EAST) and interviewing with Facebook to discuss the virtual 3D project I was a part of. I never imagined presenting to an audience of over 250 people at an event for middle school students to inform them about all the fun parts of EAST and the things that go 4

into making a good project and strong EAST program. In EAST, I am encouraged and supported to use my voice and share my thoughts on the collaboration needs between EAST at NLRHS and NLRMS. I have been a member of the Ambassador Team for EAST Conference, and now I can say I’ve written an article. I have never been a quiet person, but I never felt comfortable speaking in front of large groups of people. With the help of EAST, it has become a normal thing for me, and I know I am a better person because of EAST. As I prepare for college, I feel good about potential scholarship interviews and future class presentations and even life after college. Whatever career path I decide to take, I will be interacting with people on a daily basis, so being comfortable with public speaking and being able to strongly and clearly convey my thoughts will be very useful. I don’t even think I have a “comfort zone” anymore. Having the mindset that nothing is outside of my comfort zone has been eye-opening because it has helped me realize that all the years I doubted myself and my abilities, I had no reason to. I am capable of doing whatever I set my mind to. EAST helped me discover that and supported me along the journey of discovery. I am comfortable taking charge and leading my classmates, and I am gaining great experience by helping other students manage their projects, assisting the NLRMS students, and hopefully soon, the elementary school students strengthen their programs. At NLRHS we have created multiple roles in our program to develop students’ leadership skills beyond technology. I am the Chief Project Manager, or CPM, of EAST at NLRHS. This position is an extension of our EAST facilitator and coordinates many of the administrative responsibilities; it allows me to help multiple students accomplish things in regards to their project needs. These skills are extremely complementary to learning how to use technology in an advanced manner.

EAST creates a space for us to discover ourselves… EAST creates a space for us to discover ourselves; it gives us challenges to overcome and that helps us grow on multiple levels. One of the most rewarding things about EAST is witnessing others find their potential. There are many students that may not be the best in other classes, but their ability to create art or code a computer is incredible. I’ve seen several “light-bulb moments” happen in the EAST classroom; it brings about such a sense of accomplishment, and I’m glad to be a part of that. EAST allows and empowers students to use their talents for the greater good of their school and their community.

who want to create, engage, and inspire on a higher level. It is for those students who want to take ownership of their education and their future. It is for those students who have a vision and can make a routine activity into a project. It is for those students who have discovered a passion and want to use that passion to help others or to solve a problem in their community. EAST is for students who don't mind getting kicked out of their comfort zone in preparation for a bright future.

The reality is there is so much more to EAST than technology-based projects that cannot be seen. You cannot “see” how much a student has grown as a person or how much confidence they have. You cannot “see” how EAST has changed their life for the better. EAST gives students the opportunity to change the question of “Can I do this?”to a strong “How can I make this happen?” I have had many people (parents, community partners, high school students who are not in EAST, and various other community members) ask me “Why EAST?” and I always respond with “Why not EAST?” I tell them what and how much I have learned over the years. I explain that EAST is not for everyone, but it is for anyone who wants to be a part of it. It is for those students FALL 2019 | EAST QUARTERLY

Parent PROFILE

R

esearch tells us that having a supportive parent or family can significantly increase performance levels of students academically and socially. And while EAST is not an uncle, aunt, mom, or dad, to the students involved, we gladly take on the role of ally or advocate for the families that are committed to EAST and see the benefits of the program. Meet Kimberly Munns Johnson, one of the pastors at FaithSpring Church in Little Rock, mother of three, Olivia (15), Will (13) and Ava (11), and an avid supporter of EAST. We sat down with her to talk about her support for EAST and where it all began. As a parent, she has been able to see EAST in multiple school settings with what she described as diverse offerings and opportunities among schools. “My kids have all participated in EAST in a variety of levels at Don Roberts Elementary, Forest Heights STEM, and Pinnacle View Middle School. Between my three children, we have about ten years of involvement in EAST, plus my two years participating in EAST conference (I am “staying on” with EAST as a volunteer at Don Roberts, just because I am a fan of what Carman McBride is doing with some of our youngest EAST students)!” Kim first learned about EAST from her friend and mentor, Jim Kimzey, who was part of the early days in EAST. During their work together Jim recognized that Kim had a passion and willingness to cultivate teenagers through her youth ministry and that she recognized the importance of students being able to explore and innovate ways to better our world through technology. 6

EAST QUARTERLY | www.EASTinitiative.org


Kim shared that she enjoyed watching her youngest daughter refine her speaking and presentation skills at such a young age (fourth grade). This development has yielded Ava leadership positions inside and outside of the classroom. “Ava has been able to use these skills in multiple environments like church, community and sports activities, as well as lending her talent with video editing that she has learned in EAST.” Ava is not the only Johnson family member taking skills developed in EAST and sharpening them by assisting others in the community. Kim details how proud she is of her son Will, an eighth-grade student at Pinnacle View Middle School, and the work he is doing as well. “My son, Will, is the youngest staff member at our church, where he integrates sound and video for streaming and recording and, this past summer, he was recognized by a technology firm in Nashville, TN as a candidate for a high school internship; just after completing 7th grade! All of this is a direct correlation to his experience with EAST opportunities in elementary and middle school, both in exposure, mastery, and confidence. “

When asked how she plans to support EAST in the future, she laughed as she explained: “Well, pastors are gifted at talking and telling, so I will always tell the story of what EAST does for others! But beyond that, I am always eager to invest in EAST students with my time, resources, or talents to encourage what is developing in them. EAST builds community and strengthens existing communities, and I love being able to support something that pure and good in our world.”

Kim has been described as a walking advertisement for EAST. Her colorful and passionate support of EAST is not only shown verbally but also in her commitment to volunteer and support EAST. “My favorite way to support EAST is to communicate with others about how EAST exposes and propels students to keep learning, personal confidence, and discovering solutions. If you ask me “What is EAST?,” you better be prepared for a conversation and not an answer! I personally love attending EAST Conference and seeing the work of students from all walks of life. It doesn’t matter where you are from, what your background is, what your family’s economics look like, or how big or small your school/district may be: if a student is brave enough to consider what “could be” and even braver to ask someone else their opinion or idea, EAST becomes a place where innovation and possibility become answers, opportunities, and solutions to the needs of others.

COMMUNITY PARTNER

CRAIG O’NEILL Meet Craig O’Neill, THV 11 news anchor, champion of children’s literacy, and longtime EAST supporter. Recently Craig shared how his connection with EAST began and how he has celebrated it for over 20 years. In addition to loving literacy, Craig is a sports enthusiast, and his position as ESPN Outdoors host on ESPN 2 in the early ’90s led him to his connection with EAST. According to O’Neill the weekday morning show featured EAST students twice as they studied water quality issues in Greenbrier, Arkansas — the city where EAST originated. There to talk about fishing and how water quality affects it, O’Neill and his team were introduced to a group of EAST students working on water samples and recalls: “I was awestruck by their knowledge and their enthusiasm to share their knowledge. It was amazing to feel that energy. It’s the type of energy that makes you want to get plugged into whatever they are doing and learn more!” Having been aware of EAST since its inception through his good friend Dr. Mary Prentis — a consultant for EAST — O’Neill recalls the work he saw early facilitators do throughout multiple school districts testifying and selling EAST to leaders in education and policy. “The teachers selected were different. They were called facilitators, very appropriate for what was taking place; they worked tirelessly to tell the world how great and unique EAST was. It is difficult to put into words the magic that

happens in EAST, but they did. I believe that each day they would look at those students and say I believe in you and I am going to trust that your imagination and your knowledge are enough to solve problems. And they still do today.” O’Neill went on to say that the same energy and enthusiasm he experienced in 1996 has been consistent during numerous visits to EAST programs. He felt that energy the strongest when he attended EAST Conference. “Conference is like a science fair on steroids! To see that many students come together, grab you by the elbow and engage you about whatever they are learning or whatever problem they are working to solve is so lifechanging!” When asked what he has observed over the years about the students and facilitators, O’Neill shared that he knew


of no other classroom endeavor that brought students together and taught collaboration, individuality, and real-world problem solving through creativity like EAST. “What happens in EAST is creativity. Projects are like fingerprints; no two are alike and the students are so advanced when they leave. EAST may not reach every student, but the ones who engage are catapulted to another level.” O’Neill shared that his role as a media friend of EAST has been most rewarding as he often gets to celebrate the success of various EAST programs and highlight the growth of others. Telling the story of EAST and even partnering with programs has helped him stay connected to the EAST network. O’Neill assisted the students of EAST at Carver Magnet Elementary School with their Book Bracket Battle. These students had a goal to increase literacy scores for students at their school and O’Neill was more than happy to assist with announcing the winner as a special guest anchor during their selfproduced morning news show.

educate students about how STEM is enhanced by reading. “STEAM brings in the A for art and my art is literacy. I read to students regularly in efforts to help them see that holding a book and reading develops your brain in unique ways. O’Neill shared with a laugh that students are more interested in their devices than a book and how he’d recently had this debate with a third-grader and his stance on why Fortnite was more engaging than any book he could hold and read. As we wrapped up our talk with O’Neill, he detailed what type of project he would complete if he was an EAST student. “Man, if I was an EAST student I would definitely do something with reading. Maybe a progressive story told by every member of the class, amended for continuity, illustrated and published by students. Yeah, that could be a tremendous project.”

“I am a big reader. I believe the great equalizer in our lives are books. The person who reads is going to excel. My goal with ‘Craig’s Reading Roadtrip’ is to demonstrate how much fun reading can be. It lights up the imagination, like EAST.” One of O’Neill’s most recent reads, From STEM to STEAM supports O’Neill’s love for reading and his belief that there is a need to engage and

“Philanthropy is about more than having the means to give money; it is about being able to add to someone through your life experiences.” Wise words spoken by John Chamberlin, member of the EAST Board of Directors, retired software executive, and Arkansas Philanthropist of the Year. John received this award from the Arkansas Association of Fundraising Professionals after being nominated by the College for Social Sciences and Communication at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UA Little Rock).

Q&A with Q

When did philanthropy become a part of your life?

A: Philanthropy has always been present in various

degrees in my life. I think my mother was head of every charity drive and effort in Johnson County. I grew up in an environment where giving was a regularly occurring thing. In my early twenties right after graduate school, I did not have a job. I took the $800 in my savings account and decided to travel — you could live off of $5 a day back then. August through February, I visited multiple countries and experienced the kindness of people who gave me food and shelter. I stayed with an Iranian family for several weeks and I will never forget the words of the last conversation I had with the father of the family. I asked him how could I repay him and thank him for all that he had done for me. He answered, it is not about repaying me for anything I’ve done, but about doing it for the next person. From there, I looked for ways to pay it forward.

JOHN

CHAMBERLIN Q

How have your philanthropic efforts evolved from the first time you gave of your time, talent, and resources?

A: When our kids were young, we — my wife

Shannon and I — volunteered and gave small donations when we could. Larger financial contributions began after I sold my company, Arkansas Systems, now known as Euronet Worldwide — a banking software for global financial technology— at the turn of the century. Shannon and I took part of that money and put it in an endowment at the Arkansas Community Foundation to fund grants and scholarships. We like the idea of helping those with ideas to make their ideas a reality. In 2016, John and his wife Shannon established the Last Mile Scholarship Fund at UA Little Rock when they noticed the high number of students that drop out of college, some never to return, because of a small debt to the University they could not pay. At a school like UA Little Rock, where most students work to put themselves through school, this small scholarship keeps them enrolled and helps them complete their goal of obtaining a degree.

EAST QUARTERLY | www.EASTinitiative.org

Q

How did you get connected with EAST and how long have you been connected with EAST?

A: Well, I’ve known of EAST since the early 2000s.

I met Matt (Dozier) at the Arkansas Academy of Computing. As a member of the STEM Coalition, I watched EAST and all it accomplished for close to 18 years. I remember seeing the program expand when Governor Mike Beebe’s administration set aside funding to increase programs like EAST. I became a member of the board of directors in 2018 when Prakash Jalihal, a colleague at Systematics, connected me.


Q

What have you experienced, accomplished, or witnessed in your role with EAST?

A: I’ve witnessed lots of growth and expansion from

EAST. Now as a board member, I am known for asking the long term questions. Where will EAST be in 20 years? Do we focus on establishing EAST in every school in Arkansas? Once we’ve done that do we take over nationally? I like goal setting and being a part of establishing a larger vision for organizations. I believe there is a space for EAST to factor in support for start-ups created by EAST students and alumni. I recently met an 18-year-old restaurant manager who said they got the nerve to start their business after participating in EAST.

Q

As a retired software executive and entrepreneur, what does life look like for you each day?

A: When I am not chauffeuring my 13-year-old

grandson and learning about life from his perspective, I am coordinating Techtober and teaching courses for the I-Fund. Techtober is a celebration of technology and entrepreneurship in Arkansas. We compile a calendar of events throughout the state for people to attend. Arkansas has a history of great developers and business owners. Techtober spotlights them, their accomplishments and those they inspire. As an instructor for the I-Fund, I work with 10 startup companies each quarter in a 12-week program that allows us to mentor entrepreneurs, develop their ideas into more marketable products or services, and connect them with available funding sources. Both have an EAST-like structure; looking at problems and coming up with solutions using technology.

Q

What’s next for you, your company, and your family now that you have received this award?

A: Keep going! Taking care of EAST as a board member and promoting education, entrepreneurship, and a healthy environment all while using technology through Techtober and the I-Fund.

Q

What advice would you give to members of the EAST network looking to become a philanthropist?

A: Look around you and notice when people show up at

your door in need. When there is a need that engages you, work to solve it.
