Esports 2

Help me give my students the opportunity to compete in competitive scholastic esports.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Gardiner's classroom raised $1,374

This project is fully funded

My Project

As an ELA teacher, I know how important multimedia is in keeping students engaged in the learning process. Through the use of esports and competitive video gaming, students learn team work, and practice using 21st century skills such as critical thinking, and using technology.

Though esports my school can offer a diverse student body, who may not be interested in traditional sports an inclusive space to compete, foster meaningful connections, and the opportunity to win scholarships

Please donate to help us with our technology needs to bring scholastic esports to our small rural school.
