My Project

These will give our students the ability to learn how to read and relay the weather throughout the school for the school's news. The teleprompters will allow them to input their research and deliver their speeches confidently. The elgato stream deck pedal will allow us to seamlessly transition our scripts.

My goals for this project are to provide my students with teleprompters that will allow them to learn how to be meteorologists.

They will use their weather research skill to deliver up to date news to students and faculty during the school news.

Our students are passionate and creative individuals that are eager to learn. They want to do great things and believe they are capable of doing so.
