#EASTcon25 created incredible memories for thousands of our students, and our sponsors helped make it all happen! From long-time supporters to new friends, thank you all!
Many EAST programs like EAST at Lakeside High School (Hot Springs) are holding EAST Night Out events on the lead-up to #EASTcon25! Check to see if a program near you is hosting an event and support your local students!
In under two weeks, our #EASTcon25 Leadership Team will welcome you all to the Hot Springs Convention Center! Here's a quick look at how our student leaders prepared for the big event with some hard work and a little bit of fun.
In 4 weeks, we'll be seated for Miss Arkansas Camille Cathey's alumni keynote speech at #EASTcon25! Camille is an EAST alum from Wynne High School and took inspiration from her experiences in EAST while building her pageantry platform focused on volunteerism.
Our Student Contributors outdid themselves this month, telling stories of students building homes, celebrating veterans, and learning about drones! Read the latest edition of the EAST Perspectives newsletter today at eastlink.me/Perspectives.
#GivingTuesday is just one week away, and by becoming an EAST monthly donor, you'll support our initiatives like providing students with professional-grade technology, hands-on training, and support for their educational future!
#EASTcon25 Tech Support Olympiad is now live! EAST students can now begin their quest for Conference glory (and prizes) by challenging the online Qualifying Round. To begin, students must be logged in to EASTconference.org and visit events.eastlink.me/TSO!

We asked students from EAST at Shaw Elementary and EAST at Westwood Elementary why school would be SPOOKY if they didn't have EAST! 🎃
As VR/MR technology continues to evolve, so does its use in the classroom — Thanks to Zach Spink from the Arkansas Department of Education for showing educators how to use their new Meta Quest 3 headsets with their students!

We had a full house at EAST HQ today with two Student Training courses! Our friends from CAST led "The Why of Where," covering how mapping can be used in projects while Levi Agee taught students how to create motion graphics and animation.
Mary McDade found her passion for film at EAST at Nettleton and now creates her own films and works professionally in New Orleans. Read her story and how she catalyzed the film community in northeast Arkansas at eastlink.me/MaryMcDade!
The wait is over! The series premiere of Empowered by EAST is now available on YouTube and Spotify, with more platforms coming online soon! Check out where you can listen at linktr.ee/eastinitiative.
We're working with Craig O'Neill for his Reading Road Trip series! EAST at Vilonia High School students Triston Wyatt and Lana Tackett filmed Craig's visit to Murrell Taylor Elementary School and are creating a highlight video for his channel.
Only be jealous when we aren't giving up the games where the other team should be overmatched...and the occasional world-beater win (Texas a few times come to mind).
