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 Students

Our school is a very diverse population where about thirty percent of the student body is African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic. All students are bused to school. All the students are eligible for free lunch. Our students work super hard and they are excited and eager to learn.

I have been a science teacher for over twenty years.

I came to our school to teach STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering Art, and Math), and finally, I teach beyond the school district curriculum.

My Project

Our School District has added a new competitive event E-Sports, to our athletic department. E-Sports is the combination of team-based competition and video games for students. This new competition has been created to reach students who have been uninvolved or disengaged in typical athletic competition. With the inclusion of E-Sports it has allowed schools to be more inclusive of underrepresented students.

E-Sports is also allowing for a merging of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to our department of athletics.

My school is the first middle school of the District to start a competitive program with little to no funding. This new area of E-Sports is a globally growing field that has created a revenue stream the can provide scholarships to students all ages.

This project would give my students the opportunity to participate and compete in the E-Sports Events to earn scholarships while gaining precious STEM knowledge and experience by using Nintendo Switch - Animal Crossing; Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and other the resources from this project.

My students and I will appreciate all the support donated and provided to help each student earn scholarships and find their pathway to college.
