There was times were we had trouble with their accounts, or they were limited to certain sounds/effects. One success for me I would say was getting more familiar with WeVideo. It allowed me to feel more comfortable when working with the kids & their creativity. Theres so much more you can do on WeVideo, it just takes some exploring.

Gripe: i feel most times we dont have enough students to keep all our teachers busy

Kudos: i feel i have to shoutout Daniel for being able to constantly adapt and pivot

Consistency and support from the schools we served continued to be less and less as the year went on

Each and every team member was brave enough to take on groups and therefore projects of their own this semester, and they all did really well with them 🤟🏽

Losing half an hour each day of the program impacted what could be achieved.

Some gripes I had was that program was often forced to start late. The schools the past year were, consistently, inconsistent with their schedules.

Some kudos I had for all of us was that we started branching out with our own smaller projects to try new things.

Gripes: inconsistency with students or number of students + sites providing very short amount of time with students and support.

Kudos: Shoutout to all the leaders, Mr. Anahuac and Mr. Daniel for their support and knowledge.

Some better equipment would be a dream to work with like slates, or more of the good items that we already have such as the handheld camera rigs and canons

(also wouldn't hurt to have a small emergency snack supply)

Solid Wifi connections (for we video)

Accesible electronics (spanking new iPads/MacBooks) for editing

Needs: any possibilities we have to grow the attendance numbers this next year, I think we have a great program when we have the students to execute it with!

Solutions: Recruitment done by someone in our program (I can volunteer) to try and generate excitement for the program from one of our own.

Solutions: On days where we can’t get consistency, a back up plan of options we can execute in a single day in terms of projects. Also activities to help develop and grow our skills on rare (but possible) days where we have no students at all.

Some training on how to navigate programs and apps like Capcut and Wevideo

I am aware that the gripes we had are somewhat out of our control, but I'd appreciate communication to the schools/point-of-contacts to understand and adhere to our start time of 4:00. It ends up feeling more chaotic without it (kids and curriculum-wise).

# data[].attributes.body
There needs to be a way to contact the school before our visit to get an assessment of attendance and offer any help to recruit. Someone would arrive days before the team arrives. And yes, I learned by going on tour
