“Several of the students that participated,

I saw them developing, being able to express themselves within their communities. Learning how to talk about their lives and their histories and their backgrounds. Some of our quieter students, I saw them learn how to express themselves through photography and learn how to look at themselves as creative and think that they have things to offer and that their perspective is unique and valuable.”

ABOUT THE PLATFORM

The 100cameras program platform is specifically designed to work worldwide in partnership with local organizations such as schools, community centers, children’s homes, enrichment programs, after-school programs, and more.

Through interactive lectures, camera and photo activities, and group discussions, our custom curriculum and methodology utilize storytelling and photography to provide a clearing where youth can process and tell their stories and experiences with no judgment or expectations.

Various budget options are available and built specifically around what your organization needs, including options for free programming.

 
 

Relevant for USA-based schools

100cameras programs correspond with over 50% of each state’s Language Arts Standards and 100% of each state’s Arts Standards.

Our Practice Camera is an excellent tool for building student confidence through hands-on learning, especially in outdoor settings.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

  • If this Licensing Structure Looks Different: To streamline our licensing for educators based on feedback, we have transitioned to a flat rate per teacher, with no cap on student participation. If you previously received a quote based on a per-student rate, and that works best for your infrastructure, please reach out to your 100cameras representative.

  • Camera Accessibility: First and foremost, the 100cameras curriculum is compatible with any type of camera, including smartphones or tablets. When equipment limitations arise, we encourage utilizing what’s already available. Our team is here to support any adjustments based on the equipment at hand.

  • Increased Practice Camera Pricing: We are closely monitoring the current economic climate and retail market. We aim to reduce this cost with our overseas manufacturer as soon as possible.
