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

I am in need of a DSLR camera for my media arts class to provide my students with the hands-on opportunity to learn more about digital photography.

Currently they have been using tablets which don’t have the best picture quality and are much harder to teach digital photography with.

They are also big and bulky for them to carry around. I am hoping to start with one camera and eventually purchase more when I have the funding.

Even starting with just one camera will allow me to work with a few students at a time. Your donation is much appreciated! Anything helps!
