You Got Game

Help me give my students upgrades and enhancements to their Afterschool Gaming Club!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. DeMeno's classroom raised $711

My Project

My students love the experiences they are having in their after school gaming club. We meet weekly to create games, compete in challenges, and play co-operativley. One of the biggest demands of the club is our Quest 2 headsets.

Students would love to have a Meta Quest 3 added to the club!

With our large game library full of simulations, puzzles, and physical education games, students love playing on the Quest. The Meta Quest 3 will add a 3rd Virtual Reality Station to our club. With its higher frame rate, the new quest will cut down on motion sickness for students who could not play on the old headsets. The new system will play all of our old games, and new ones unavailable on our old systems as well as do "Mixed Reality". It will provide students more opportunity to play and learn via VR by providing another headset to the students. We also use our Game Club resources as a Positive Behavior Incentive for all of our learners. A Meta Quest 3 will be a huge motivation for positive behavior for the school. The carrying case and Pro-headstrap will keep the equipment safe and easy to swap among users, so we have everything for a long time! We are also seeking some decoration for out game lab. The stickers we have chosen will add the finishing touches and make our Game Lab look amazing and welcoming to our students.
