If you've always wanted to visit the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock but never got the chance, now you can step inside via the internet.
It's all thanks to a group of four EAST Lab students at Forest Heights Middle School who've put together a fully operational virtual reality tour of the library that can be accessed through the library's web site.
The students - Davonte Hokes, Wilson Jones, Maggie Thannisch and Brooklyn Williams - are 8th grade students in their first year of EAST. The EAST Facilitator at Forest Heights is Debra Sloan.
The virtual tour starts on President Clinton Ave., at the entrance to the Clinton Presidential Center. From there visitors can go into the main lobby and the orientation theater. Visitors can direct themselves throughout the remainder of the library, including the Cabinet Room replica, the alcove exhibits of the main permanent gallery, the third floor permanent gallery and the replica of the Oval Office.
The students working on the Clinton Library tour attended a two-day training program at the EAST Initiative taught by Scott Jochim, CEO of Digital Tech Frontier, to learn the basics of 3D Vista Virtual Reality software. They started the project in the beginning of November and completed it in May.

EAST, or Environmental and Spatial Technology, is a technology course in which students complete a community service project tied to one of many professional-level software programs in the lab.
