My Project

Finding ways for learners to express their understanding of complex ideas and concepts can be a challenging task, especially if they struggle to put them on a tangible artifact. Thus, the item I am asking support with attempts to do that.

Our school has been experiencing behavioral problems in the last few months and my class has taken the initiative to create a series of clips to encourage positive behavior.

With something as simple as a cellphone, students can be able to put their ideas into videos, and with those videos, students' imaginations will be able to run free. Notwithstanding, to record videos that are going to inspire their imagination, we want them to have a device that will prevent shaky and out of focus recordings.

Our school is located in an urban area surrounded by factories and buildings. Many of our students are low income who possess great creativity but struggle to find an interest in education. We want to inspire these students by providing them with opportunities to harness that creativity and to engage in projects that will not only encourage them to find education interesting, but also, to want to pursue a higher education.

With your contribution, you will help us inspire our future leaders.
