Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) Project- An Industry/Education Collaboration That Works for Females and Minorities

This 6-page article, written by Christine Andrews and Leslie Wilkins, discusses the Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) Project. This project involves "a high school class that uses technology in service projects designed to improve student's critical thinking and problem solving skills." EAST was first implemented in 1995 at Greenbrier High School in Arkansas. The article discusses why this project is a viable pedagogical model that works for women and minorities. This paper was presented at the 2001 NAMEPA/WEPAN Conference.
