eSports Re-equip Upgrade

Help me give my students a memory card and tethering supplies to make a more engaging, safe, and accessible eSports arena.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Nguyen's classroom raised $277

This project is fully funded

My Project

These supplies will support and reinvigorate students' access and passion for interscholastic eSports. The eSports arena is one of the most thrilling, exciting, and accessible features of the school. There is a pit of 13 gaming computers with gaming chairs, monitors, and desktops. However, past issues with theft have prevented accessories and games from being left out. Cartridges have to be locked up, accessories have to be checked in and out, bags have to be locked away. In a building where students are already forced to go and feel denied rights, there has to be a better way.

These tethering supplies and memory card will humanize students' involvement in the activity and help support streamlining the setup process.

Being able to digitally own games on the systems will lower swapping downtime and logistics. Tethering accessories will provide peace of mind to administrators and lower the overhead cost of setup and breakdown.
