STLP
is a project learning program that empowers students at Eastern
to use technology in and out of the classroom.
At Eastern STLP is a service organization that meets after
school and sponsors LAN Parties and school improvement projects
like Eagle-NET Day and Saturday Tech Workdays.
Three times a year STLP sponsors activities called LAN Parties.
Students stay overnight at the school and bring in their own
computers. They connect these computers to each other and form
a huge network. College recruiters also attend the LAN parties.
In addition to learning about networking computers together,
the students have a great time eating pizza, shooting aliens,
devouring massive quantities of chips and hotdogs, shooting
more aliens and playing role-play games.
By morning they clean up the area and head home for some well-earned
sleep. STLP raises money at these parties to finance A+ and
Net+ certification testing.
