Help me give my students cameras to explore and capture the world around them.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Joan's classroom raised $718

My Project
My students are curious, spontaneous, and eager to explore new experiences as they learn. Giving a child a camera leads to opening a new world through the eyes of a child. We are about to embark on a unit of study about camera and during this time, students will be encouraged to explore and capture individual interests, learn about the world around them and create visual representation of their thoughts, feelings and ideas. Due to their natural curiosity, children will continuously look for new ways to use their camera.
A camera is a good educational tool as it will help them improve their creativity, imagination, literacy, build visual literacy, critical thinking and self-confidence.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
