My Project

Electronic sports (Esports) have gained popularity as competitive platforms for multiplayer video games. Many schools within our state have established Esports teams, and our school is eager to join this engaging and dynamic trend.

To start an Esports program, we need essential gaming equipment.

We seek funding for gaming consoles, specifically the Nintendo Switch, and multiple controllers to facilitate competitive gameplay. Additionally, popular multiplayer games prevalent in our district, like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros., are crucial to fostering a competitive and inclusive environment. To get started we are starting with Mario Kart.

We have a teacher dedicated to getting this started, a plan to grow the program further, and an area for kids to use.

Will you help us get our dream of having our very first Esports team started?
