My Students

My students are eager to participate in extra curricular activities but have struggled to fit in to one they enjoy. Since our ESports club has launched, we have created a social and competitive place for these students to be involved!

ESports gives students another avenue to have social interaction with their peers as well as provide them with an activity that teaches cooperation, teamwork, and leadership skills.

Many of my students have new energy and excitement about coming to school. They are also very excited about the opportunities ESports offers at the collegiate level which inclues scholarships.

My Project

Gaming PC's are crucial to fielding a competitive ESports team. The games we play require computers that have minimum hardware specifications. The gaming PC I have chosen meets or exceeds these requirements. It also has longevity as the equipment will be useful for years to come. Obtaining this PC will allow students who do not have the capability at home to get started in ESports. Currently students are bringing their own equipment from home to play at school. Obtaining this gaming PC will the fist step in creating a large, competitive ESports team.
