Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

E-Sports is an awesome way to motivate students to attend school. E-Sports is growing at an exponential growth every year. Being able to get a Playstation 5 and controllers will help initiate an E-sports team at our middle school and allow them to learn technology skills and compete with surrounding schools.

These students are taking initiative to bring an e-sport team for the first time at their middle school.

Once these students culminate they will leave the gaming system for future students who are inspired to join and compete in e-sports. Students at our school have amazing leadership skills that enables them to take initiative and strive for excellence everyday. Forming an E-sports team is one example of how students work together to bring a variety of extracurriculars to the school. Go Rockets!
