My Project

Even before the full class has started, the demand from students wanting to join the video game class is already larger than the materials I currently have available. The excitement is incredible—students are eager to explore how video games can teach them about storytelling, design, and problem-solving.

Their enthusiasm shows me how powerful this class will be, but it also highlights the need for more resources so everyone has the chance to participate fully.

To meet this growing interest, I’m requesting an additional Nintendo Switch with carefully chosen games, more Joy-Cons for group collaboration, and student keyboards to pair with our Chromebooks. These supplies will allow more students to work at the same time, test multiplayer dynamics, and bring their original game concepts to life through research, design, and presentations.

With your support, Level Up Learning: Part 2 will make sure that every student has access to the tools they need to thrive. Together, we can transform their love of video games into confidence, creativity, and essential real-world skills.
