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

I am the advisor for the What's So Cool About Manufacturing and I want to give my students up to date technology. All of the tech we have for editing and producing our videos is over 10+ years old.

The students are only allowed to use computers that belong to the school for this competition so this is why I am working to get us a Macbook that will be property of the school when purchased.

We currently use Windows at the school and don't have as much access to video editing tools like we would with a Mac. I want to give my students the best chance of creating a winning video that will make them successful.
