Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our esports team is made up of enthusiastic students who are excited to thrive in competitive gaming while also developing essential life skills like teamwork, strategic thinking, and communication. To support their growth and ensure our new gaming room runs smoothly, we need vital equipment to elevate their learning and performance.

Impact of Requested Items:

We are requesting an extra monitor, 6 new headsets, a keyboard, a mouse, a Nintendo Switch, 4 Nintendo SD cards, 4 pro controllers, 6 mouse pads, and 6 gaming chairs. This equipment is crucial for our gaming room to operate at its best, allowing students to compete effectively. The additional monitor and chairs will enhance comfort and focus, while the headsets and mouse pads will improve communication and precision during gameplay. The Nintendo Switch and accessories will provide practice across various game titles, helping to diversify their skills. Overall, these tools will boost their in-game performance and strengthen their collaboration and critical thinking abilities.

Goals for the Project:

Our goal is to create a well-equipped esports environment that offers every student the chance to succeed, regardless of their current skill level. By providing the necessary resources, we aim to encourage growth in competitive gaming and personal development. We want our students to compete in regional and national tournaments and explore potential pathways to scholarships and careers in the expanding esports and tech industries.

What Makes Our Students Special:

Our students are unique because of their passion, commitment, and resilience. Many come from underserved backgrounds, yet their love for esports inspires them to overcome challenges. They are not just gamers; they are innovators, leaders, and problem-solvers. Esports has opened new doors for them, and with your support, we can nurture their talents and help them reach their full potential both in gaming and beyond.
