Live-Streaming at LMAAC!

Help me give my students a camcorder that can live-stream special events around campus...including promotion!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Meckstroth's classroom raised $3,347

This project is fully funded

My Project

LMAAC has entered the digital age the last few years by live streaming many of our events around campus and of course promotion at the end of the year. We love being able to bring our events to friends and family that can't make it to our campus to join in our celebrations, triumphs & good old fashioned fun!

Help us give our students better equipment to live stream events around campus & promotion at the end of the year.

We've been live-streaming using personal phones, iPads, etc. and the quality isn't very good, and in the case of promotion last year, our device overheated and froze multiple times (hence the pop-up for shading our expensive camera).

This is a large investment that will benefit our more than 1,000 students for many years to come.
