His unique approach to civic learning integrates technology with human psychology. Through the use of scientifically-supported, educational technology, Easterday seeks to increase the level of civic participation as a means to promote community development. Two of his recent projects include Policy World, a game that teaches students how to effectively analyze public policy, and iLogos, an argument mapping tool meant to strengthen argument formulation and analysis. In addition, Easterday has been working on developing a curriculum to train youth on how to articulate policy issues via journalism and media so that they may elicit civic action.
