Digital Camera + Digital Pics= Engineering Results

My students need a digital camera.

My Students

Our Academy students are working to developing Science, Math,Engineering and Technology skills (STEM)and we document our projects, competitions, parent nights and engineering events. The digital camera will also capture all our leadership, classroom projects and participation.

Our Academy in North Carolina is comprised of students who are in a suburban environment with diligent professional parents who want the best for his/her child as well as the greater welfare of the Academy.

We have a Leadership Team of Juniors and Seniors who follow the national PLTW guidelines. We participate in competitions with Ten80 racing, TSA, NCJETS, and NSBE. We are ever-learning and have a bursting school and Academy spirit!

My Project

This digital camera will allow the students to have complete and accurate documentation for his/her portfolio for community or 4-year college. The digital camera will also promote our school spirit and document all our exciting memories of the Academy that we can post on the school website, Facebook and share with our families. Our learning is continuous and the camera will be with us on every step of our journey!

This camera will have a great impact on the numerous events we partake in with our students.

Our Leadership Team and the Academy is recognized as a future-ready Academy due to our documentation on our website and web links. Our current camera is held together with masking tape so we will put it to great use and take excellent care of this resource for our growth and skill development.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
