Lights, Camera, Action: Empowering Student Visions

Help me give my students Musician’s Gear Lighting Stand and Truss, GVM led lights and softbox lighting kit to complete our student-led podcast and video studio.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Rogalski's classroom raised $649

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are already co-hosting a podcast and now they’re getting ready to take the lead recording and streaming our school’s morning announcements. But to make this reality, they need a few more tools to put in our studio that is already set up to accept them "home." The truss will be in the back of the room holding up these and older led lights. And the Softbox lights will light up the green screen and the rest of the scene.

The studio equipment isn't about podcasts or announcements - it's about school pride and student participation.

Your donations will give kids a chance to build confidence, gain a sense of ownership in their school, and find a way to productively participate in the very fabric of high school life.

Our studio team plans to make our group the district’s (and eventually the state’s) most successful broadcast and podcasting scholastic group. We already have the cameras and sound equipment and, most importantly, the talented, resourceful and experienced students ready to take on the new challenges ahead. The lights and the truss they will be attached to will add that extra bit of professionalism to get everything off the ground and solidly moving in the direction towards success.
