My Project

My STEM After-School Club students love video games! They enjoy playing Minecraft etc. together. They are looking for a new way to play together and would love an XBox to compete against each other. They would love to make our STEM Club into a STEM VIDEO GAME CLUB!!

This project is going to enhance their middle school years!

Many of our students can't afford expensive consoles such as XBox or Playstation. This project will give them a place to play after school in a safe and competitive environment and experience these technological marvels together.

My students love video games and they love STEM. We plan on using our 3D printers to design and print a stand for the XBox and the controllers to keep everything organized and contained. They plan to play their favorite games together and create a fun lasting memory with their friends in their after-school club.
