My Project

COVID-19 has stopped a lot of these kids from being able to enjoy a quality CTE education. Recently, we started a film class, but it is lacking a lot of decent material. There are no lighting options, no green screen, and the tripods do not offer adjustments for phones.

These students deserve to have a fun class after trying to regain and not fall even more behind as most of them are due to the high stress and lack of control during COVID.

These materials will help to provide that experience by giving them quality time with good technology.

The students before were unable to access these materials because they were being taught online or felt concern about coming to school. These resources will allow the students to have a quality film class by having good lighting, a green screen to use, and tripods for the cameras. This otherwise will not be available.
