  • Canon Rebel XTi - $130

  • Canon Rebel T1 - $180

  • Sony A300 - $250

  • Nikon D5600

  • Pentax K-70

• In-person classes will provide students with laptops or computers, if necessary, during class time. 

• Online classes require students to have a computer that can operate Canvas and Zoom. 

• Some online classes will require a computer that can run Adobe Creative Cloud.

  • If you are unsure if your course requires Adobe Creative Cloud, email saic-ace@saic.edu or saic-youth@saic.edu for more information.

• Online fashion students will be required to own their own sewing machine. 

• In-person classes will provide students with a Janome HD-1000  during class time. Students cannot use school sewing machines outside of class time, with the exception of some ECPSI students.
