My Project

A majority of our children play video games every day, whether on their phone, computers, or consoles, and my goal is to take their interests and incorporate it into the school system. They can use their skills to help them receive scholarships in college as well as shaping them into becoming team players and leaders. Most athletics target specific demographics, but with Esports any type of student can join as long as they are interested in video games.

The students will be using the PlayStations and Nintendo consoles to be able to participate in the competitions that we will hold against other schools throughout the country using PlayVS.

This is the first opportunity that we have to start an Esports team in the Forest Municipal School District. The dream is to have our students becoming champions in their interests and helping them achieve their dreams beyond middle school and high school.
