This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
This year I took on opening up my classroom at lunch to esports and it has been a blast to see a different side of my students in person! Unfortunately since it is new to our campus we are very limited and currently only have a Nintendo Switch.
This project is aimed at broadening the esports club to laptop/PC online gaming.
When researching which laptop would be the most reliable long term as well as able to stream online gaming an Apple Mac was at the top of the list (except for custom built over the top PCs). I have enjoyed watching students collaborate and problem solve and look forward to expanding their gaming platform!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
