Summer Seminar is a three-day professional development experience where facilitators collaborate with and learn from the EAST network and industry professionals.

Administrator and Stakeholder training is designed to prepare and assist all levels of district and building

administration to support their local EAST program.

Education Unleashed is for all educators at any school and from any grade level to engage in technology-rich, high quality professional development.

Thousands of EAST students from around the country gather each March for the most exciting three days in education . At the National EAST Conference, students can network, share stories and celebrate the work they’ve done. The event also serves as the largest training venue of the year offering breakout sessions led by students, educators and industry professionals discussing best practices and the latest in technology innovation and application.

EAST CONFERENCE

EAST Night Out is an opportunity for the public to experience students collaborating to make a difference in their

communities through student-led, service-based, and technology driven projects. During these local events, students

in EAST celebrate their projects already underway, discuss plans for future endeavours, and solicit new project ideas.

A matching grant available every four years to Arkansas EAST classrooms in need of
