JHS EAST students spend the first few class periods participating in Team Building activities and brain stretches. They also learn to determine what is an EAST project and what is considered an activity. An EAST project must fill the CART.
CART stands for Critical thinking, Advance, Real and Teamwork.
The JHS students put together and organize equipment in the room. Students volunteer for jobs such as Printer Pro, Software Manager, Hardware Manager, EAST Ambassador, and Social Media Manager.
Once all of these things are in place the students begin the wonderful world of EAST Projects. This is where you see real student growth because the projects are self-directed and the timeline varies for each project.
Below is a sample of an introduction to using ESRI and the GIS mapping software. Once the student is familiar with the software they can then design any number of variations of their own maps.
