Thanks to your contribution, we were able to field two competitive esports teams in our district, competing in both Rocket League and Minecraft. We are proud to share that our students made the playoffs in both competitions district-wide, an achievement that filled them with confidence and pride, and a first for our school. The professional-grade equipment you provided gave our students a true competitive edge, making them feel that our program was serious and invested in their success.\r\n\r\nThe technology has enhanced learning in our esports courses, where students explore career pathways in gaming, game design, and tech industries. It has also strengthened our computer science classes, where students use Minecraft to learn coding and programming. With access to high-quality gaming equipment, they have been able to develop practical skills while engaging in creative, hands-on learning experiences.\r\n\r\nOur students, many of whom have faced challenges in traditional school settings, flourished with this new technology. For example, one student who was initially shy and hesitant to participate became a team leader, strategizing and guiding their peers with confidence. Others discovered a passion for game design and programming, considering careers in the tech industry they had not previously imagined.","fullyFundedDate":1735430194437,"projectUrl":"project/game-on-esports-game-design-and-devel/8793977/","projectTitle":"Game On: Esports, Game Design, and Development for Future Innovators","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Soto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8324015_orig.png?crop=472,472,x0,y101&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673387743359","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8324015"},{"teacherId":5036313,"projectId":8857507,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for supporting this project.
