Before, students had to share equipment, and the old setup just couldn't keep up during matches. Now, everything runs smoothly, and students can really see the details in the games they're studying. It's easier for them to analyze plays, react faster, and work together during practice. The class feels more focused and professional, and students are proud to be using gear that helps them do their best.\r\n\r\nWhat's been really great to see is how much confidence this has given them. Some of my quieter students have stepped up as team leaders, calling out strategies and encouraging others. They're learning that communication and teamwork matter just as much as skill. We've even started recording matches so they can review what went well and what to improve next time.\r\n\r\nThis monitor and mouse might seem like simple tools, but to my students, they mean opportunity. They get to do something they love while learning how to lead, support others, and push themselves to improve. Your donation made that possible, and we're so thankful for it every day.","fullyFundedDate":1750256154264,"projectUrl":"project/a-computer-monitor-for-esports/9340562/","projectTitle":"A Computer Monitor for Esports","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1678280_orig.jpg?crop=857,857,x44,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683506374432","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/gmstigers"},{"teacherId":1678280,"projectId":9317039,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my students now have access to a powerful gaming computer that has completely changed the energy in our esports and game design elective. For many of them, this is the first time they've been able to study games not just as entertainment but as a form of storytelling, design, and strategy. The computer lets them run the same types of games we study, create their own plots and mechanics, and even experiment with video editing and live commentary.\r\n\r\nStudents are excited about their esports class! Students are already sharing ideas and collaborating on character designs, and analyzing game strategies. \r\n\r\nYour support has opened doors that go far beyond the screen. You've given students the chance to build teamwork, digital literacy, and real-world skills through something they truly care about.
