Epson PowerLite LCD Projector, $999.95, 0.00% raised
Epson PowerLite LCD Projector Rank:
Single Unit Why I need this:
Our school puts on two or three school wide multimedia events each school year. We have a Film Festival to show the best of movies made by our students. We also have an event called the Eddies (Kind of like the Emmy's Award). These events take place in our cafeteria and would greatly benefit from a 5,000 ANSI lumes projector. We just recently purchased a sound system to help with the quality of these events. This projector would be a perfect match to complete our professional looking events.
Quantity: 1 Price: $999.95
Computer Microphone Rank:
Single Unit Why I need this:
My 215 students are in 8th grade computers and produce may projects where they record their voice. The quality of the recordings will be much better with these microphones as appose to the built in microphones they are currently using. We record voices in their PSA's, scary movies, podcasts, digital storytelling, and core projects for history and science classes.
Quantity: 12 Price: $11.00

School Portable PA System
Single Unit Why I need this:
I started our first Computech Middle School Film Festival this year. It was a hugh success. The event was afterschool and the cafeteria was full. The sound was not able to project as well as it should have for all the hard work the students put into their 5 minute videos. There will be two different festivals next year if we can solve the sound problems.
Quantity: 1 Price: $2106.00
The School Portable PA System is perfect for school events, plays, sporting events and more!
