My Project

Our school district has added a new competitive event E-Sports, to our athletic department. E-Sports is the combination of team-based competition and video games for students. This new competition has been created to reach students who have been uninvolved or disengaged in typical athletic competition. The inclusion of E-Sports has allowed schools to be more inclusive of underrepresented students. E-Sports is also allowing for a merging of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) into our department of athletics. My school is the first middle school in the district to start a competitive program with little to no funding. This new area of E-Sports is a globally growing field that has created a revenue stream that can provide scholarships to students of all ages.

This project for a set of Nintendo Switches would give my students the opportunity to participate and compete in the E-Sports Events to earn scholarships while gaining precious STEM knowledge and experience.

My students and I will appreciate all the support donated and provided to help each student earn scholarships and find their pathway to college.
