Technical Support for inner-city media programs

Describe your project – 1800 characters: 
The Student Voice Project identifies high poverty, overcrowded high schools with non-existing, or underfunded and supported journalism programs and provides three years of funding support in addition to teacher training to revitalize or create vibrant student media programs where all kids are given "a voice." Our goal is to create a vibrant school media program that engages self-selecting students in the writing process while also positively affecting the social cohesiveness of the larger school community (as measure by social network analysis). As part of our mission, we provide the basic technology to get these programs up and running, but are looking for help from the Knight News Challenge Grant to help us engagement students in a variety of ways by incorporate various media platforms including video on a modular technology we can offer to students to compliment our service offering. We are looking for money to build an exportable platform for online publishing to schools as well as funds for the purchase of hardware like cameras, video, etc that are various schools require.
