Panasonic has just announced that the company is investing in the future. No, we’re not talking about Bitcoin. Panasonic LUMIX is investing in students and teachers and aiming to support the next generation of filmmakers, photographers, and content creators.
With the industry changing as rapidly as it is, this could be a worthwhile investment too, as we’d all benefit from more opportunities and better education in this field. Set to be dubbed “LUMIX EDU,” this new initiative is set to offer exclusive discounts, educational content, and creative opportunities tailored to students, educators, and academic institutions looking to elevate their visual storytelling programs.
Here’s what you need to know about LUMIX EDU.
