“As a testament to the 100cameras curriculum for the course,
it adequately sets these students up to have a stronger voice for whatever it is that they feel the world needs to know. I think they’re leaving with more concrete goals, hopes, and dreams but also now plans to actually put those into fruition.”
— Amit, Educator, Chicago
A CURRICULUM BUILT FOR THIS MOMENT
At 100cameras, we don’t teach photography for technique — we use it to create space. Space for youth to process their experiences, reflect on their emotions, and connect with others through visual storytelling. Our curriculum is a proven gateway to well-being, resilience, and meaningful expression.
Whether you're an educator integrating enrichment into your classroom or a young person seeking a purposeful solo activity, our programs are designed to be flexible, creative, and emotionally relevant, meeting participants exactly where they are.
Rooted in storytelling, reflection, and connection, each activity invites youth to slow down, look more closely, and think more deeply. In a fast-moving digital age, our well-tested methodology helps youth pause and consider what their imagery communicates, fostering a stronger sense of agency, intention, and voice.
