My Project

Our school district has added a new competitive E-Sports event to our athletic department. E-Sports is the combination of team-based competitions and video games for students. This new competition has been created to reach students who have been uninvolved or disengaged in typical athletic competitions.

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) in 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.

With the help of donors like you, company donations, and the school district, we have created our own E-Sport League at our school. The response by the students has been tremendous. I have an overload of students interested in the club. I also have students playing during lunch as a PBIS (Positive Behavior Incentive System) program.

The only thing missing is a new computer monitor, covers, and one headphones to complete the sets. My goal is to get 12 chairs so that every student will have a chair. Please help me help my kids. Thank you
