EAST Conference

We traveled to National EAST Conference the week before Spring Break with 9 students. These students represented all of Hellsterns EAST students and talked about our projects, how we help the community and what software they have learned. They presented themselves professionally and enjoyed the company of almost 300 other schools. We were presented with a difference maker award and had a great time in the "EASTverse".
