EduTechGuys

We’re talking with Matt Dozier of the EAST Initiative program. Matt talks about STEM/STEAM, student projects, and the impact of real world, student-led projects on local communities. From water distribution to prosthetic attachments to historical museums and more, students participating in the EAST Initiative are charged with creating solutions that solve the problems.

What is EduTechGuys?

EduTechGuys is a high-intensity rollercoaster ride of super fun which takes mortal form in the two distinct entities which are David Henderson and Jeff Madlock. Crafted in the fires of Mt. Wannahockaluggie, these two self-proclaimed high priests of edtech first started navigating the world of educational technology on the web through a podcast, over a ravine in a rainstorm in 2015 (Sharkbait, ooh ha ha). Since then the two have traveled the nation bringing their joy for silly puns and more importantly sharing the journey of each educator they encounter.
