They will explore bird, tree, and plant identification. They will do some basic work in ArcView, create web pages, and possibly produce a virtual trail guide. EAST Training Program for High Schools. The EAST Project is an outgrowth of a highly successful model that was developed by Tim Stephenson of Greenbrier High School. From the beginning, the EAST project has stressed learning in combination with community service.
Students use high tech tools to solve real problems in their own hometowns.
High school students in the EAST program have developed emergency response systems for town fire departments, created new economical and efficient bus routes, and designed new parking lots for their schools. This program is being rapidly expanded to include as many communities as possible. Training the Trainers.
