🎥 Equipment Access & Recording Support

We want every student to have a fair shot—regardless of their access to technology. Through our partnership with the Judge George W. Armstrong Public Library in Natchez, Mississippi, participants who don’t have recording equipment can use library-provided resources to create and submit their videos.

What’s Available

  • Video recording equipment (cameras and accessories)
  • Quiet recording spaces (as available)
  • Internet access for uploading submissions
  • On-site support from library staff (as available)

Why This Matters

Not every participant has access to the same tools. This partnership helps reduce the digital divide and ensures all students have an equal opportunity to compete—and to build real-world technical skills in the process.

✅ Equity & Access ✅ Digital Skills ✅ Community Partnership

How to Access Equipment

  1. Visit the library during regular business hours.
  2. Call ahead to confirm availability and any sign-up requirements.
  3. Schedule enough time to record, review, and upload.
