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
With all of the available sports, clubs, and activities available to students at my school, one type of activity is still missing: gaming. The interest is definitely there, but the equipment is not. Students use Chromebooks, which are very underpowered and incapable of running most games, with the exception of those that are simple timewasters that distract from learning. To start an eSports group, we first need proper equipment.
These mice, keyboard, headsets, and pads, when coupled with the other items from other parts of this project, will help get our eSports club off the ground!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
