My Project

Providing gaming headphones and mice for our computer lab will make a significant impact on both classroom learning and our growing esports program. In the classroom, quality headphones help students stay focused by reducing distractions and allowing them to fully engage with digital lessons, tutorials, and assessments. Precision gaming mice enhance their ability to complete assignments that require fine motor control, such as graphic design, coding, and multimedia editing. These tools create a more immersive and accessible learning environment for all students.

For our esports team, this equipment is essential.

Communication and reaction time are key to competitive gaming, and having the right gear levels the playing field for our students. Gaming headphones allow them to coordinate with teammates during matches, while responsive mice improve gameplay accuracy and performance. By equipping our lab with these tools, we aim to foster a sense of teamwork, responsibility, and digital citizenship, preparing students for future careers in technology and digital media.

What makes my students special is their passion and resilience. Many of them are discovering new strengths and interests through our esports and technology programs—areas where they can shine regardless of background or academic performance. This project supports their growth not just as learners, but as confident, capable individuals who are excited to take on new challenges.
