My Cameras Gave Up the Ghost

Help me give my students cameras to replace the well-used equipment that is slowing down.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. McDaniel's classroom raised $1,942

My Project

Teaching 5 video production and television broadcast classes requires equipment that works. After receiving my requests for the new school year, two of my cameras are running low on energy, and they are about to give up the ghost.

They have been put to good use for over five years, and it's time to put them to rest.

I need two cameras of equal quality for my students to use. I cannot wait until our next round of purchasing, which happens in the spring. Your contributions will help keep my nearly-200 students actively engaged in the video and broadcasting production process.
