Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

When I first stepped into my Career and Technical Education (CTE) audio-video classroom, I faced a daunting challenge: it was completely empty, devoid of the tools necessary to inspire and equip students for future careers in media and creative arts. My vision is to transform this space into a dynamic environment where students can explore various career paths, with a strong focus on hands-on, exploratory learning.

Your support will help turn an empty room into a vibrant, innovative learning hub where students can develop their talents, experiment, and grow.

I am committed to giving my students the best possible start on their journeys into media, technology, and the arts.

To achieve this, I am seeking funding for essential equipment to create two primary stations:

Live DJing Station: This setup will give students the opportunity to experience real-world DJing during class, allowing them to develop skills in music mixing, sound design, and live event management.

Creator Editing Station: This station will enable students to edit photos and videos using Adobe Creative Suite, enhancing their proficiency in industry-standard tools.

By incorporating these tools, students will gain invaluable experience that mirrors industry practices in music production, live DJing, and multimedia content creation. This initiative will not only enhance their technical skills but also ignite their passion for creative exploration and open doors to future career opportunities.

Thank you for considering this project and for investing in the future of our students!
