My Project

In today’s digital world, students are not just consumers of technology—they are becoming creators. As the popularity of eSports, game design, and video game programming continues to rise, we have an incredible opportunity to engage our students in these exciting fields, helping them develop skills that will be valuable for their futures. However, to provide a truly immersive and effective learning experience, our students need the proper resources to develop their talents.

We are seeking funding to provide essential equipment for an eSports and game development program.

The items we are requesting for the room include headphones and pens. High-quality materials are an integral tool for both game play and the development of digital content. This project will teach students how to engage in eSports competitions, design their own games, and dive into the world of video game programming. These materials will also be beneficial for our upcoming Lunar New Year celebration.
