== Students ==
  
 
Student may bring their own cameras and phones as our main priority is a focus on the fundamentals of image composition, rather than the diverse technicalities of various recording devices, which of course we'll try to help with.  Importantly, kids would learn how to use their own gear, rather than technology they may never see again.

== Collaborators ==
 
 
Attached is a work-in-progress designed flyer yet to be finalized.
 
# The curriculum and 5 or 6 page printout could be shared with you when a first draft is completed.
 
# The curriculum is attached.  Feel free to share suggestions to improve it.
 
 
 
=== Fundraising ? ===
 
With the Optimists fundraising goal of $500 and a suggested donation of $20, we'd need to enroll 25 students.  Those numbers are all flexible.  If you think these numbers are too steep, unreasonable, etc. we'd like to hear about it and why.
 
 
 
We'd love to hear ideas on how and where to enroll interested participants, both students and teachers.
 
 
 
=== Buses ? ===
 
We don't yet know if this is practical or not, but perhaps we might meet at the Optimists Park (1075 Ypres Ave) to have a bus shuttle the kids out to LeClair Cottage at 1pm to return at 5pm.  We're calling around to find out more.
 
 
 
=== Expenses ? ===
 
 
 
There's not much, but it's worth listing, nothing set in stone:
 
* bus rental (Optimists Park round trip, 1pm to 5pm)
 
* photo printing
 
* photo framing
 
* water? + cooler? + ice?
 
* promotional flyer-posters for businesses' front windows
 
* quarter-page flyers (quartered 8.5'x11' sheet of paper, to self-print and cut)
 
 
 
=== Potential Prizes ? ===
 
 
 
* camera(s)
 
* good printouts (VistaPrint?)
 
* matting & framing (with hanging hooks & wire)
 
* photo frames (Walmart, Dollar Store, Value Village, etc.?)
 
 
 
=== Potential Teachers: ===
 
 
 
* John Dippoliti 519-982-5500, PlugNPlay Productions
 
* Jason Carswell 519-903-0560, Janglers Animation
 
* Vincent ?
 
* Windsor Media Centre ?
 
 
 
== Noteworthy ==
 
 
 
Don't share that outline with anyone via email, text, etc.  You may show it to folks on your device in your control for their direct feedback in person - just don't let an incomplete draft out into the wild.
 
 
 
I'm scraping a bunch of pages today to read through for reference to compile a class lesson.

At best we can have a ride donated, or we might be able to rent one, and at worst we won't but will know how much it is for 5 hours on a Sunday.

For more information see the latest flyer.

Students

Student may bring their own cameras and phones as our main priority is a focus on the fundamentals of image composition, rather than the diverse technicalities of various recording devices, which of course we'll try to help with. Importantly, kids would learn how to use their own gear, rather than technology they may never see again.

Collaborators

We're looking for assistance, collaborators, donations, and sponsors in exchange for cross-promotion and public awareness. (See Preparations for more information.)

We're looking for knowledgeable and qualified photography teachers.

At this point, in advance of the September event, we're not even certain of everything that we can offer, much less what we need.

In short, we're still brainstorming ideas of what we can provide to the kids for a memorable, fun, and teachable creative photography experience.
