A day in my life Project Allows an Alternative Perspective for Children in Refugee Camps #celebratephotography
Beautiful project made possible by UNICEF and the European Union from The Creators Project:
In 2016, the project was renewed on a much grander scale: 500 students, 50 schools, and 25 local photographers. Working alongside Children’s Museum Jordan, UNICEF and the European Union were once again able to bring photography to a new class of young people.
“In Jordan, UNICEF is using photography, art, music and theatre as a first level of psychosocial support for Syrian children and youth,” Miraj Pradhan, Head of Communication for the UNICEF Jordan Country Office, tells The Creators Project. “But more and more, it is also proving to be a great social cohesion tool, providing opportunities for Jordanian and Syrian kids to work together and learn about each other.”
We #celebratephotography here at Adafruit every Saturday. From photographers of all levels to projects you have made or those that inspire you to make, we’re on it! Got a tip? Well, send it in!
If you’re interested in making your own project and need some gear, we’ve got you covered. Be sure to check out our Raspberry Pi accessories and our DIY cameras.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
