The technology has created a focused hub for collaboration, allowing students to visually analyze gameplay in real time and refine their skills. This has dramatically increased engagement and comprehension during practice and instruction, bridging the gap between traditional learning and digital skills development.\r\n\r\nThe students are especially thrilled to see their gameplay on a larger screen. It makes feedback and discussions feel more immersive and professional. One student, in particular, who previously struggled to stay engaged during theory discussions, now actively participates, offering insights and strategies after seeing the games play out in real time. This newfound confidence has extended beyond esports, as they've started to engage more in other classroom activities.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only enhanced our program but has also shown our students the power of a community that believes in their potential.
