EAST welcomed 13 new schools and one community program into the network, bringing the number of programs inspiring change to nearly 270. Each EAST program is equipped with the tools necessary to produce the next generation of STEM leaders, business owners, and problem-solvers and will develop students through the use of technology, critical thinking and communication, and service to their communities.
Each new program receives industry-grade technology, significant professional development for facilitators (teachers who manage the EAST environment) and administrators, access to over 70 specialized student trainings on how to use that technology, and real-world experiences that the students author and execute based on their passions.
