Lights, Camera, Morning Buzz: Empowering Students Through STEM

Help me give my students a media production kit, a dedicated laptop, printer, ring light with a tripod stand and a Lavalier microphone to produce and record school announcements, fostering creativity, communication skills, and technical proficiency.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Onelien's classroom raised $1,470

My Project

My students are passionate, curious, and eager to learn. Despite facing economic challenges, they come to school every day excited to explore new ideas and express themselves. They love collaborating, storytelling, and using technology to enhance their creativity.

Every student deserves the chance to build skills that will empower them beyond the classroom.

Your support will help my students turn their ideas into real productions, strengthening their voice and giving them the tools they need to shine. This project is more than just equipment—it’s an investment in confidence, teamwork, and their future.

Currently, our school relies on outdated methods for announcements, limiting students’ ability to develop critical STEM and media production skills. With access to a media production kit, laptop and other resources my students will gain hands-on experience with scripting, recording, and editing—preparing them for careers in media, technology, and communications.

Imagine a school where students don’t just hear announcements over loudspeakers but actively create them—writing scripts, recording, and editing their own productions. Our diverse student community is eager to learn, but economic challenges limit access to essential media tools. With your support, we can transform our school’s announcements into a dynamic, student-led media experience..
