Project EAST
The EAST Initiative model has been recognized nationally as an innovative and successful approach to education. In schools, EAST is a project-based, service-learning oriented class that provides students with the most current, high-end technologies available in some of the most progressive fields in the worl. EAST is more than a class offering and much more than a "computer class"
At its heart, EAST is a coordinated attempt to provide today's students with an educational atmosphere that allows them to gain insight into their own abilities to acquire and use information, solve problems, and gain valuable experience in using technology.
EAST students routinely interact with hardware and software in animation, computer aided design, engineering design, visualization, database design, webpage design, programming, office automation, global positioning systems, and geographic information systems. Students work in teams, tackle sophisticated service oriented projects. In the process of solving problems, they learn to become creative, intuitive and adaptable learners who can solve unpredictable, real-world problems.
How Project EAST Will Benefit Molokai
Project EAST gives students a chance to see their real potential by choosing to become professionals in areas that previously were not an option. EAST enables students to see themselves as winners, and truly raises the bar in their expectations for life. The Maui Economic Development Board, the Molokai Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and several Molokai community leaders have partnered to implement Project EAST into the curriculum of Molokai High School.
We look forward to witnessing the impact of Molokai's Project EAST on the youth of Molokai.
