Mission Topic, Purpose, and Hypothesis

Our mission is to have a Photography team in George Washington Middle School.

The purpose of our mission is to teach kids more about photography and have a photography team after school.

Our hypothesis is that if we build this after school photography team, someone can teach us more about photography and we’ll have kids doing fun things and we’ll have our parents and other adults updated on the things we do by posting up pictures on our schools website page.

Real World Skills I’ve Learned

Three skills that i have learned through this process are one I’ve learned how to work as a group all together. Two I’ve learned how to search for things properly. Three I’ve learned to include everyone in everything I’m doing.

I can use these skills outside the classroom to keep perseverance & to never give up.

Challenges We/I Encountered

The challenges that we encountered were, one we couldn’t find sponsors from companies. Another challenged we encountered was that we couldn’t find grants for a few cameras that we can use for a photography team. Our third challenge that we encountered was that we didn’t find someone that knows photography to teach us a little about photography. We eventually worked as a class and found a few people to call and we found someone that can teach us teens on photography.

Solution We Tried Out

Some solutions that we tried to overcome our challenges were to just work on looking for one thing and if that didn’t work we would have a plan B. A group of us worked on looking for grants so we can purchase a few cameras for our photography team. Another group of us worked on looking for someone in the city of Alexandria to teach us about photography and how to use cameras.

Next Step

Next, We need to make sure if the person we called and said he would be able to teach/mentor us is gonna be able and committed to share his time with a group of us after school. We need to have a plan B if the guy changes his mind about sharing his time and teaching us about photography. We need to have everything organized and we need to make sure everything is right.

Favorite Part Of The Process

My favorite part of this process was working with everyone together as a family because i think we can go farther and we can find better things by working together. When there’s a group of us working on a mission like this its easy because we can finish faster and can do more process with more people helping out.
