Tribeca Teaches: Bronx Preparatory Charter School
“I saw kids who are difficult to engage in the classroom really come to life when they got to record with the camera and conduct interviews. It was a good reminder to me as a teacher how important it is for kids to experience what they are learning about and to use what’s around us to teach them.” Amy Millet, 6th Grade Teacher, Bronx Prep
