"We help artistically inclined students develop careers in computer related fields which leverage their talents. This way, they can be involved in something they love (art)and still make a good living.

Our Introduction to Animation and 3D course is already popular. We just need to make more stations available to students so they can get their work done and graduate!

We need to add a few graphics tablets to get the numbers up to the point where I can share them without students having to wait on getting a tablet.

My students need to be able to turn their artistic abilities into careers which will increase the odds of being able to make a living in their area of interest. Computer graphics and web design careers leverage artistic talents in this regard. Our Introduction to Animation and 3D course helps us make this connection, but we need to add some graphics tablets so students can move beyond "drawing" with the standard computer mouse. We have seen the effectiveness of these tablets in increasing student interest and engagement. We have three tablets, but we need a few more to cover classes with 20 students in them. We deeply appreciate your help!

This is an alternative high school which is the "last chance" for many students. Many don't have interest in school because they have interests in the arts. These courses help them make the connection to a career and allow them to be happy and productive citizens. Your help with this will be greatly appreciated! HIDE

We need 2 Wacom animation tablets. The cost of this proposal is $574, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
