Big Screen with Live Video

A jumbo video screen with live on stage cameras will be used for science school assemblies when requested.  The screen will be used 3 times in the following week.  Kids love to see the experiments, classmates and themselves on the screen.  The screen is especially appreciated by the students (and teachers) in the back rows.  The screen uses an very powerful LCD projector and rear projection.  This allows the video to be seen with out turning off the lights of the gym/auditorium/show room.  Please allow extra time for screen set up and take down when requesting it.
