Seeking Equipment
We here at Intersections strongly believe in introducing our students to the latest technological developments, whenever possible. This can be as simple ensuring the students are using the latest operating system for the Mac, to introducing the concept of 4K video.
By doing so, our students learn to stay on the cutting edge of technology, as well develop an interest in self-teaching.
As a result, we are always on the lookout for new equipment to replace aging and out-of-date equipment. Here’s an overview of items we are in need of. (Where possible, we have included links to examples of the equipment, along with general price ranges.)
