• Gaming Console Fun

  Funded Nov 30, 2022

  My students love to play each other in FIFA competitions on the xbox, this is used as a reward and incentive for them completing academic work. Having something that they genuinely want to play is a great was to reward them for all their hard work.

  This si also a way to teach them about cooperation and teamwork through playing and working together to solve puzzles and also just a way to allow them to have some fun.

  Thanks you for making a difference in the lives of students in a high need school in NYC.”
