My Project

The following projector will aid in my students being able to learn projection mapping, a skill that can visually enhance many areas in a performing arts school. This skill will also give my students a great skill that is in need in the audiovisual field, thus making them employable by top audiovisual companies.

My goals for this project consist of training my students in the skill of projection mapping, guiding them in performing the skill for school performances and seeking opportunities for internships and/or job shadowing with professional companies in the area.
