The Digital Storytellers Project

The Digital Storytellers Project imagines a future where young journalists have the power to shape society, amplify truth, and ignite impactful change in the world. Many schools lack the resources to teach their students about media and journalism, leaving them ill-equipped to navigate the ever-evolving media landscape. We’re changing that reality by providing K-12 schools with FREE video production kits, that include everything students need to create their own digital content.

It is compatible with 10.2" iPads and includes all the necessary equipment for students to create professional-quality videos. This kit is user-friendly and allows students to easily transform an iPad into a professional video production studio.

The Digital Storytellers Kit includes a compatible recertified 10.2" iPad and a durable, lightweight aluminum frame that securely holds the iPad, making it easy for students to capture stable footage on the go. Additionally, the kit includes a directional microphone, providing clear and crisp audio, essential to high-quality video production.

Furthermore, the Digital Storytellers Kit includes an adjustable tripod, which allows students to stabilize their shots and capture different angles with ease. The tripod is also lightweight and portable, making it easy to transport and set up, providing flexibility and mobility.

By providing these kits to K-12 students, we can open up a world of opportunities and possibilities for them. With the Digital Storytellers Kit, students can explore their creativity, develop critical thinking skills, and build confidence. They can create video content on topics that matter to them, share their stories with the world, and develop a deeper understanding of media and journalism.

The Digital Storytellers Project is an initiative designed to provide K-12 students with FREE video production kits and resources, empowering them to become young journalists. Our mission is to equip students with the tools and skills to tell their stories and engage with the world through journalism and media. We imagine a future where young journalists have the power to shape society, amplify truth, and ignite impactful change. 

Journalism and media play a critical role in shaping our society today. They provide the public with accurate information, hold institutions accountable, and empower individuals to express themselves. However, many schools lack the resources to teach their students about media and journalism, leaving them ill-equipped to navigate the ever-evolving media landscape. With the rise of social media and the prevalence of misinformation, it is more important than ever to equip our youth with the skills to discern fact from fiction and tell their own stories.

The Digital Storytellers Project seeks to address this need by providing K-12 schools with FREE video production kits. These kits include everything students need to create their own digital content. By giving students the ability to produce their own stories, we hope to foster a sense of creativity and critical thinking that will serve them well throughout their lives. This project is part of our mission to help bridge the digital divide and encourage students to leverage technology and their voices to create positive change. 

Moreover, our Digital Storytellers Project is more than just about teaching kids how to use technology to create content. It's about promoting media literacy and giving children the ability to express themselves in meaningful ways. Through this program, we hope to inspire a generation of young journalists who will use their voices to create positive change in their communities and beyond.

We believe that journalism and media education should be accessible to all students, regardless of their background or socio-economic status. By funding this initiative, you will be supporting students who might not otherwise have access to these resources, allowing them to learn, grow, and contribute to their communities. Your support will not only benefit the students themselves but also their schools, teachers, families, and communities. It is an investment in the future of journalism and media, ensuring that the next generation is well-equipped to tackle the challenges of the digital age.
