The Achieving Technological Literacy in Arizona for Students and Teachers (ATLAST) was a three-year $880,000 project supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Advancing Technology in Education Program. 
The performing unit was the National Center for Teacher Education (NCTE) of the Maricopa County Community College District in Arizona. 

ATLAST was a project for increasing technological literacy in secondary education.This project provided teachers and future teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare students for an increasingly technology-driven society. The grant focused on the teachers and students who participate in the Arizona Department of Education’s Education Professions Program, a high school Career and Technical Education (CTE) program for students who have an interest in pursuing a career in the field of education.
