My Project

The tools and equipment we are requesting are essential to the success of our upcoming PC building camp, where students will gain hands-on experience assembling and customizing their own gaming computers. This immersive, tech-focused program is designed to spark curiosity, build technical confidence, and inspire a lasting passion for technology. These setups will not only empower students to explore the inner workings of high-performance machines but will also support the growth of our esports team by giving participants the opportunity to use the systems they build in real competitive play.
