What is it?

The photography tinker time kit is designed to allow students to have a go with a digital camera and to start improving some of their photography skills. Year 4-6 students may also like to use processing applications to further enhance their photos.

A digital camera might seem outdated with the ability to take photos on a smartphone, however the learning involved in taking photos applies to both smartphones & digital cameras. It also means you don't have to give students your phone to use.

What is in the kit? What do I need?

In the kit you'll find:

  • digital camera with SD card (storage card)
  • USB cable for transferring photos to another device
  • rechargeable batteries
  • battery charger
  • Coming soon - Microsope lens for iPads

You'll need to provide:

  • Space for students to take photos - you might like to give students an area where they can take photos outside if the weather permits
  • Props for students to use in photos if required
  • Another device to transfer images to - this could be a classroom Chromebook
  • A classroom iPad if you want to use the microscope lens
