Ninten-Don't Miss out on E-Sports

Help me give my students equipment for their E-Sports and Video Game Lab.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. DeMeno's classroom raised $1,499

This project is fully funded

My Project

Last year my school opened an E-Sports and Game Lab in the library. It quickly became the most popular extracurricular activity. Students in the E-sports club game cooperatively, competitively, and create their own games. We also use the room for our Positive Behavior Incentives reward program. The game lab is a huge motivator for developing positive behaviors in students. The Nature Club uses the room to run nature simulations like their fishing games as well.

Students love their E-Sports room!

The game lab is in high demand. In order to reach more students we are asking for 3 more Nintendo Switches, extra controllers, and joy cons. The students also voted for extra copies of their favorite games; Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash Bros and Minecraft. Your support of this project means that more of my students will develop their 21st century and social skills. All this while gaming with their friends.
