Thanks for your support!
Bring your students together for a class project using Olympus
digital cameras and Tool Factory's project-building software.
It's easy to enter. Just submit a description of your intended
project, and a budget.
The best applications make effective use of ALL the resources
provided by the grant. All subject areas will be equally considered.
Grants will be judged based on:
- Effective use of digital cameras in the curriculum.
- Effective use of the software resources.
- High degree of student involvement. We are looking for projects
which involve the entire class in a variety of capacities for
a group project, or where each student gets the opportunity

3 Olympus 6.0 megapixel (or better) digital cameras worth
$600
The Olympus FE-Series
digital cameras are our favorite pick for teachers! It's easy
to use, and 6.0 megapixels produce photo-quality prints larger
than 11"X17". Super-macro mode practically turns these
cameras into magnifying glasses. Beautiful color, panorama, and
video make this camera unbeatable in its class.
One Tool Factory software site license worth up to $2,000
Awardees will get a school site license of one software program
to install on every computer in their school! Explain what you'll
do with the software in your application:
Tool
Factory Workshop: Make greeting cards, books, banners, charts,
graphs, or an art showcase using Tool Factory Workshop's
word processor, spreadsheet, database, and paint programs.
MultiMedia
Lab V: Create a photo montage, games, claymation, or a student
showcase for the web.
Whole
Class Fresco: Manipulate your photos with surrealistic textures
and lifelike brushes.
Tool
Factory Home Page: Build websites, build websites, build websites!
$500 cash
Tell us what you need to purchase to complete your project. Hire
a bus driver, buy photo paper, get more software,
open a Shutterfly account,
or get a microscope
that attaches to the computer. Don't budget
for cameras, unless you need more than 3. Each grant winner gets
3 cameras already!
A Digital
Camera Basics workbook, with permission to copy!
Get step-by-step instructions on how to use the Olympus digital
cameras, plus tips and tricks for taking great photographs. You
will also be awarded a license to make up to 30 copies of the
book for your students.
