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

Providing my students with the Rockville BPA12 600W 12" PA Speaker will significantly enhance their learning by allowing them to experience their audio creations in a real-world playback environment. This professional-grade speaker gives students immediate, high-quality feedback on the sound design choices they make for their short films, helping them understand how volume, clarity, and balance affect storytelling.

The Rockville BPA12 600W 12" PA Speaker is essential for helping students develop the critical listening skills and technical awareness required in media production.

In our film and media magnet program, students don’t just write and shoot—they design original soundtracks that carry emotional weight and narrative power. This speaker will allow them to present their work at a professional volume and fidelity, building both confidence and competence in audio production. By using industry-relevant gear in class, we prepare students for real-world creative opportunities in film, music, and digital media.
