My Project

My students fell in love with digital photography this year. After testing the waters with three point-and-shoot cameras, student demand skyrocketed. They eagerly waited in line to document their projects, proving that hands-on technology completely transforms their engagement. However, three cameras are not enough for an entire elective class. To meet this passion and elevate our curriculum, we are expanding into a full digital media and animation lab.

This project will add four DSLR Rebel cameras and three Minolta point-and-shoots, alongside essential infrastructure: memory cards, secure storage bins, protective cases, and headphone organization.

This toolkit drives a rigorous, project-based STEAM curriculum:

• Visual Arts & Storytelling through Technology (STEAM): Students will transition from passive media consumers to active creators. They will script narratives, design storyboards, compose frames, and bring inanimate objects to life through creative digital production.

By supporting this project, you supply the exact hardware required to bridge the gap between technical science and creative art. Help us equip our classroom with the tools to inspire the next generation of digital storytellers and media innovators!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
