My Project

Lights, Camera, Students in Action! My AICE Media Studies students are eager to move from analyzing media to creating it.

With SD cards, tripods, and lighting kits, they'll be able to film interviews, scenes, and short films, learning how to frame shots, control lighting, and capture high-quality videos.

These media tools will give them hands-on experience with real equipment, boosting their creativity, collaboration, and technical skills. Your support will help bring their ideas to life and prepare them for future opportunities in AICE Media Studies.

With your help, we can turn a classroom into a real media studio.
