For 43 years, we've helped students discover what they can build.
EAST is a bilingual non-profit organization and registered charity that empowers young people through enhanced, modern and accessible science and technology experiences — from elementary through CEGEP, across Canada.
Our story
In 1983, a dedicated group of educators and professionals came together to found EAST, born from a shared passion for empowering the next generation of innovators and the realization that nothing of its kind existed yet in the market..
In 2001, the Montreal Science Fair was rebranded to the Montréal Regional Science & Technology Fair, and in 2002, the CRC Robotics program launched its first competition, Alphabetica. More than four decades later, our vision is unchanged: ignite young minds to harness science, technology and innovation and drive transformative change.
What we stand for
Hands-on, always
Students learn by building, testing and presenting real projects.
Bilingual by design
Every program runs fully in French and English.
