EAST at Northeast Tech

09/26/2026

And we’re back! This year, our EAST students have been busy over the past few weeks getting to know each other, learning what’s expected of them, and running full speed ahead—learning photo compositing, graphic design, camera and green screen basics, print production, and vinyl installation. All of this is collected in what we call Tech Challenge 1. It is a fun assignment that introduces students to the equipment, software, and processes we utilize in EAST.

Thank you, Claremore, for your support of EAST at Northeast Tech! We love the way you love and support our program and students.

Students in the EAST Program at Northeast Tech Claremore Campus were tasked with creating and presenting a visual representation of what a typical day in their lives looks like. They were instructed to include their responsibilities, hobbies, and favorite forms of entertainment.

Students had the freedom to showcase their graphics in a variety of creative formats, including a video game screen, magazine cover, comic strip, album cover, movie poster, and more. This activity not only allowed students to put their artistic talents on display but also gave them an opportunity to connect with one another and learn more about their classmates.

First-Year EAST Student Franklin Beetz began this project with little to no prior experience in 3D printing. Through dedication and problem-solving, he successfully recreated a custom pen holder for his client, Mikayla Taylor, bringing back a sense of nostalgia tied to the original piece.

After the original item was damaged and the design file could not be located, Franklin took on the challenge of rebuilding the model from scratch. He carefully recreated the design and adjusted measurements to ensure the final product met the client’s needs.

This project allowed Franklin to develop his skills in 3D modeling, precision measurement, and creative problem-solving while delivering a meaningful product for his client.
