Do you remember seeing an image or a scene that captivated you from another part of the world? Perhaps it was in National Geographic Magazine, in a book, or from a movie. We are inundated with images through social media so much today that it is easy to overlook our hometown. The power of place, the human and physical features of a location make it unique. Our community has a rich history, and like any place it continues to change over time. This project will help students capture the community in a unique way with technology that many don't have access to.
