Phase I: Bringing School Events to Life: AV Club Launch

Help me give my students the tools to launch an AV Club where they learn to run live sound, manage microphones and video equipment, and build real-world skills by supporting school assemblies, performances, and events.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nida's classroom raised $996

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our school is excited to launch a new Audio/Visual (AV) Club that gives students hands-on experience with live sound, microphones, mixers, and video equipment. Through this project, students will learn real-world skills like running audio for performances, setting up video connections for assemblies, and managing equipment for school events.

This opportunity will build leadership, teamwork, and technical skills while helping students take pride in supporting their school community.

With the right tools, our students will not only gain valuable experience but also discover new career pathways in technology, media, and the arts.
