With One Go Pro Camera, We Can Reach the World

Help me give my students a GoPro camera so that they can document the work they are doing, alongside the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, to steward their community's rain gardens, filtering stormwater runoff and recharging groundwater.

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

At Corona Arts and Sciences Academy in Corona, Queens, "we" media artists are a dynamic, brilliant middle school community, many who have just arrived in these United States. Some of us are making art for the very time. All of us are manifesting our values, transforming ourselves along the way. Or, as Mr. Amar often says, "we use today's technologies to express how we feel, to make connections, to imagine futures."

Last year, we began a community service partnership with the Guardians of Flushing Bay and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.

Together, we are stewarding the 10 bioswales (rain gardens) that are closest to our school.

"New York City’s investment in green infrastructure is a cost-effective, resilient, and sustainable way to contain storm impacts. Rain gardens are a critical part of it: they’re effective tools in urban areas that improve water quality, reducing sewer overflow as well as flood, environmental, and health risks.Improving water quality goes a long way in making New York City more habitable. Rain gardens play an important role in that, carrying tremendous environmental and health benefits. They reduce toxins and other pollutants in water, turning streets greener and more resilient, especially in low-lying, flood-prone areas. As a result, more people are drawn to the water than before, whether it’s going to the beach, fishing, kayaking, swimming, or strolling by the river."

As media artists, we know that documenting our work makes it possible to increase its impact. By telling our story, others may join us. With one GoPro camera, we know we can make many videos, post them on our class site, connect with and educate our community.
