My Project
Our students are passionate about creating content that resonates with both students and staff, making their work highly relevant and engaging. They are deeply committed to producing high-quality media projects and are eager to learn the technical skills behind professional production equipment. For many, this program will be their only chance to gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools and build a portfolio that can launch future careers in media, communications, and related fields.
This project aims to equip students with the proper equipment and environment to produce professional-level work while developing essential technical and communication skills.
The impact of the requested items will not only benefit each of my students but it will also help the entire school. The cameras and ipad can be used to film and take pictures which will enable students to produce professional-level work, fostering both creative expression and technical proficiency. It will also give them a competitive edge, allowing them to showcase polished projects in portfolios for potential employers, internships, or further education. Through this program, students will gain valuable skills that extend beyond the classroom, preparing them for future opportunities in a variety of media-related fields.
By providing access to DSLR or mirrorless cameras, lighting kits, microphones, and editing tools, we will significantly enhance their ability to create polished video presentations, media assignments, and original content within a controlled educational setting.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
