Green Screen

Sometimes wishes do come true!

I put out a call for donations about a month ago, to buy paint and supplies to create a green screen in our Makerspace at JBMS. And several amazing people answered my call! Thanks Ayelette, Tom and Chris!


We got enough money to buy two gallons of limolicous Sherwin-Williams flat interior paint from Lowe's and our supplies! I figured out this color would work well from other bloggers who'd created their own green screens on a DIY budget.

We wrapped up the school year and then set to painting. First we had to clean and prep the walls. I had help from staff, teachers, parents and students! It was pretty cool. And another day we did the actual painting. The results speak for themselves:













We have a real, working green screen! The students who helped downloaded some apps and within moments, were taking photos and putting themselves into scenes. And yes, it took us adults just a little bit longer but we got the hang of it too!

This wall is just part of the Makerspace we are building for our students. I can't wait to see what they do with it when they come back to school in August. I'll keep you all posted!
