My Project

Second graders are some of the most explorative humans alive. This equipment will provide 21st-century skills that will support lifelong learning experiences and prepare the students for potential media and communication careers for future employment.

I want to continue to foster their love of learning new things, by helping them capture moments and images that could only be seen through their "lens." The future careers are in digital literacy, communication, critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, creativity and imagination.

This camera would provide them the opportunity to learn new skills and see the beauty that is around them each day.
