Cameras and photographic materials were provided to the students in advance of the project. This included 6 cameras paid for by donors, and other analog photography equipment such as cyanotypes, lighting equipment and Adobe subscriptions. The main challenge was discovering what each individual student was most interested in learning. Some students flocked to learn Photoshop, while others were very engaged in experimenting with lighting. 
Overall, the project was a great success and the students were very motivated to collaborate and create.
Share a brief story of how your project made an impact on your target audience;
The Hillside Day Program is unique because of the students consistently entering and leaving the program, which doesn’t allow for a lot of time for the students to form bonds. Through this program, the teachers and therapists were very happy that the students had shown engagement with each other to collaborate on photography exercises. Friendships were formed in the short duration of our programming.
