My Project

Help us upgrade our Media Arts Program with a. MacBook Pro! Our current school computers have limited memory and struggle to handle the large file sizes required to produce high-quality videos! A MacBook would give our students the processing power and memory needed to edit professional quality video, create multimedia projects, and produce content for our new WolfTV news broadcast! This equipment would directly support hands on, industry-relevant learning for our growing Media Arts Program!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
