My students need cameras so that they aren't limiting their education just in the classroom.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Park's classroom raised $1,024
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
My students are great and full of potential. They are creative and filled with the passion of youth; but most importantly, they are capable and eager to exceed beyond the standards.
They have the vision, but not the means to complete their vision.
They are serious about becoming making the best films they can. My students are resourceful and want to do their best, but let's see what we can do with they have the means to succeed. Give them a chance to let their voices be heard.
My Project
The students keep asking me, "Can I borrow a camera for the project?" Cameras are essential for any school with a video production pathway. What is most essential for students to succeed in the video production pathway is the means to realize their vision. Due to district policy, students are not allowed to borrow school equipment outside of school.
They have great visions and ideas.
Throughout the year, I continue to be impressed with the quality of work and improvement when they submit their films for English or Video Production. They are restricted to only film on-campus, which limits their scope. My students are extremely resourceful where they frame things carefully, develop narrative so that it fits within the school, or use their smartphones outside of school--They will do what it takes to complete their projects.
If students are able to film without being restricted to just the classroom, they will be more engaged in the classroom, as every film project is connected to academic content, and create the avenue in which they are able to explore and develop their technical skills.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
