Press Start: Opening Doors With Esports

Help me give my students the tools they need to compete in esports tournaments—including against our rival school—while building teamwork, tech skills, and confidence with gaming PCs, accessories, and a laptop in our growing, future-focused esports club.

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

My students are bold, imaginative, and eager to turn their passions into something meaningful. They thrive when challenged, especially in spaces where technology, creativity, and teamwork come together. When we first started the esports team and gaming club, it began with a small group, but as word spread and students saw the potential, more and more joined in. The enthusiasm and interest have been incredible, and we’re excited to take it to the next level by entering tournaments—maybe starting with a head-to-head match against our rival school.

Each resource we’ve gathered plays a vital role in helping them succeed: Razer Barracuda X Wireless Headsets ensure crystal-clear communication during matches, while PlayStation DualSense Controllers and Logitech G PRO X Superlight Mice offer the precision and responsiveness needed for competitive play.

Our high-performance gaming desktops and Acer Nitro 5 laptops provide the power for smooth gameplay, streaming, and even learning tech skills like coding and game design. FIFINE RGB microphones allow students to explore shoutcasting, content creation, and leadership roles in the digital space. This isn’t just about gaming—it’s about building real-world skills, fostering teamwork, and boosting students’ confidence as they represent our school with pride and compete for success.
