Your support has already had a profound impact on our classroom. While our students are experts at snapping photos with their phones, this camera is teaching them how to use a more professional camera. It is a tool that allows them to do more than the simple point-and-shoot and learn some principles of photography, like aperture, shutter speed, and composition. They are learning to see the world with an artist's eye, paying closer attention to light, shadow, and the stories hidden in everyday moments.","fullyFundedDate":1748116055820,"projectUrl":"project/lights-camera-learning-a-camera-for-y/9252622/","projectTitle":"Lights, Camera, Learning!
