Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We're thrilled to introduce a unique opportunity for them to delve into the realms of entrepreneurship, economics, and marketing through a Capsule Vending Machine dedicated to showcasing their artwork. With this capsule machine, my game design students will be designing, developing, and field testing a collectible trading game. Each spin of the capsule machine will dispense hand-crafted game pieces, and create a new player in the school-wide game.

Welcome to our project to support the talents of our Game Design students at ACHSl!

Our goal is simple yet profound: to provide our students with hands-on experience in the world of business and creativity. By donating to our cause, you'll directly contribute to the growth and development of future game designers. Imagine the impact of allowing these students to not only create stunning artwork but also learn the invaluable skills of pricing, marketing, and customer interaction.

With your generosity, we can establish a platform where these young artists can showcase their talent while gaining real-world insights into the dynamics of selling their creations. Every donation helps give these students an edge in the competitive industry of game design.

Your support will not only fund the Capsule Vending Machine but also provide essential learning opportunities that transcend the classroom, providing these students with a valuable opportunity to understand how to market, price, and sell their artwork in future endeavors outside the classroom to support their futures as local and thriving artists. Thank you for considering a donation.
