Today was one of those rare, grounding experiences that stay with you. I had the joy of visiting my daughter’s school to introduce a group of bright, curious elementary children to the world of Audio‑Visual (AV) technologies — a world I’m proud to represent through my work at #AVIXA.
Walking into the classroom, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But within minutes, their curiosity filled the room. What struck me most was how naturally kids are able to reflect on their experiences with AV at school, field trips, home and during their family holidays.
They excitedly shared moments from their own lives:
✨ awe inspiring sound and lighting in their school annual day event
✨ their experience with interactive tech at museums
✨ AV tech which livens up their learning experience
✨ their favorite immersive shows and installations
It reminded me that AV isn’t just technology — it’s an experience‑making craft, and kids connect with it instantly. We also facilitated a brief group activity, where they created a puppet show of sorts with sound and light effects.
As someone who works in the AV industry, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. At AVIXA, we often talk about the power of AV to transform the way we experience the world. Today, I watched that transformation happen in real time — through children discovering how the world of sound and visuals shapes the memories they cherish.
And it made me realize something powerful:
🌱 When we introduce AV early, we spark possibility.
Kids who are imaginative, expressive, curious, or hands‑on might one day see themselves designing experiences, building immersive spaces, crafting audio, creating visuals — and shaping the future of AV.
Being able to share this with my daughter’s class made the moment even more meaningful. I walked away with a full heart and a deep sense of satisfaction.
A truly gratifying experience, and one I’ll cherish for a long time. 🌟
