Digital Media Arts with LCPTV

Help me give my students the power to transform their surroundings with the almighty green screen!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Mendez's classroom raised $252

This project is fully funded

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 Students

Our students are kind, creative, and curious! The students in this class have all elected to be a part of this digital media elective and are excited to research and report real-world issues while producing a variety of comedic, dramatic, and informative snippets!

The students in my class are eager for hands on learning experiences to put their knowledge, creativity, and personality to the test!

This group consists of predominantly low-income students who have aspirations for careers in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. They can't wait to be a part of the next wave of digital media artists!

My Project

My students will be able to delve into the digital media arts and produce original content! They will develop their onscreen personas and produce quality content to share with their peers and social media. The lights and green screens in this project will provide students with the tools necesary to make this happen!

In collaboration with YouTube, my students will have the opportunity to tell their personal stories as well as their peers!

On and off camera, they will get to make their mark on our campus and the world by giving the student body a voice and a platform!
