Advanced Yearbook & Photography Club Digital Camera Mobile Lab, $3749.00, 0.00% raised
Advanced Yearbook & Photography Club Digital Camera Mobile Lab
Single Unit Why I need this:
I do the yearbook, sometimes as a class and sometimes as a club - determined by the needs of the school and what classes I need to teach. I also teach Graphic design. Both of these classes I teach photography but we only have very old cameras (only 3 that work) and only one tripod. This would help out our school so much - we are a performing arts school but also public with little $$. We are a title 1 school so most of our students get free and reduced lunches
Quantity: 1 Price: $3749.00
This lab is configured for advanced yearbook and photography club users needing the power, performance and portabilty of the Nikon Coolpix series cameras

Needs:
I would love to have DSLR cameras for my students and I really would love to have the current Adobe Creative Suite, which is now a subscription.

I teach in an inner city in which most students cannot afford much so I want to give them the same opportunities as their suburban counterparts have. My students are just as smart and talented, they just need the resources to succeed.
