During the conference, the participants got the opportunity to participate in 3 of the 6 available workshops of their choosing.

This workshop exposed the workshop participants to different mobile photography techniques dealing with lighting, exposure, and picture quality.

At the end of the workshop, there was a post-workshop survey given to each student, and the results included: 54% of the workshop participants agreed that the workshop leader was knowledgeable about the subject matter; 45% and 18% of the workshop participants stated that the workshop was either very organized or extremely organized respectively; 63% of the participants agreed that they wanted to learn more about photography; and 54% of the workshop participants agreed that this workshop should be included in future 4-H Ignite Conferences.
