My Project

Help our school get a New console so we can start up an esports club! We used to have an Xbox 360 but it had the red ring of death so I am hoping to raise money to get them a newer and more modern console to play games on!

I have a lot of students interested in many different esports games, such as Super Smash Brothers and Just Dance.

Many students in our school district do not have money for consoles at home so they have never had a chance to play many games, I think it would be a great opportunity to teach teamwork for our students and have them work together while doing something fun! In the future I would love to let them compete in tournaments for games such as Overwatch and Marvel Rivals once we have enough gaming equipment so we can form actual teams.

I have coached esports for many years and would love to be able to give my students the opportunities I wish I had when I was in high school!
