My Project

What's the one thing that businesses request of students? It's soft skills. One of the best ways for students to mirror these skills is through opportunities for collaboration and communication within intense environments.

CJHS computer science and esports teams are eager to show the world what we can do!

With this last Nintendo Switch, cooperative and competitive games, and the streaming tool necessary to showcase our talent on Twitch, we will be able to launch our middle school Titans of Columbus esports program.

Students are already beyond excited as they learn coding, computer information systems, and those soft skills businesses desire so greatly.

We need your help add extra layers to our program. Middle school esports is predominantly Nintendo Switch based and with these additions, we'll be able to field every class as a competitor. Then, because of this project, students will be able to add commentary and broadcasting skills to their resume - because of you!
