My Project

My amazing motivated and talented 7th grade Project Potential (Gifted Education) class has chosen to participate in C-Span's Student Cam Challenge. For this year's competition the task is to make a 5-6 minute documentary film about an important issue in your community.

We are in need of video cams for teams to use that have USB connection for editing capabilities - the documentaries require personal interviews, video clips from other sources, narration, captions, etc.

(Students are not allowed to use their own personal electronic devices or phones in school). The students plan to use these devices to record interviews with public officials and other members of the community and to record the documentary narrators.

These cameras would not only be used for this project, but will also be used by NJHS, Leadership Class, Student Council, for the School Morning News videos, sports teams, and other Project Potential grade levels students to record and edit many presentations and events at our school for years to come.
