My Project

Empower Esports: Level Up Our Team with Essential Podcast Gear!

Our high school Esports team is a vibrant and growing community where students develop crucial skills like teamwork, communication, strategic thinking, and problem-solving – all while pursuing their passion for competitive gaming.

We've seen incredible enthusiasm and dedication from our players, and now we're ready to expand our reach and impact with our Justice of Smash & Justice of Kart team podcast!

This exciting new initiative will provide our students with invaluable real-world experience in content creation, storytelling, and digital media production. Imagine our team members interviewing each other, analyzing game strategies, sharing insights about the esports world, and connecting with our school community and beyond. This podcast will not only amplify the voices of our talented students but also serve as a powerful tool for recruitment, community engagement, and showcasing the positive impact of Esports at our high school.

To make this vision a reality, we need your support to acquire essential podcasting equipment. Microphones, headphones, and audio interfaces will provide the high-quality sound necessary for a professional and engaging listening experience. Investing in this equipment will directly empower our students to develop new skills, build confidence, and create meaningful content that celebrates their passion and achievements.

Join us in leveling up the JMHS Esports experience! Your generous contribution will help us launch our podcast and provide our students with an exciting platform to connect, learn, and grow. Every contribution, big or small, will make a tangible difference in the lives of these dedicated young gamers. Thank you for your support!
