About the Project
We are excited to launch a mobile eSports arena, enhancing our growing Makerspace by merging the thrill of gaming with learning important skills that will translate into STEM-related job fields. As a K-8 school spread out over two campuses, having mobile access is not only important it’s critical to ensure full and equal access for all of our students. We plan to add three mobile eSports carts that are fully equipped with everything a teacher would need to immediately implement a gaming environment in their classroom. Our plan is to have a cart for 3rd-4th, 5th-6th and 7th-8th grades. Teachers will have students not only growing their gaming skills but they will also participate in project based learning opportunities that further connect the gaming components to their classroom learning. We are thrilled to embrace the popularity of eSports and propel our students into the digital age. Our aim is to introduce a program that enriches their current classroom learning and fosters a deeper connection to the curriculum. We aspire to establish a dynamic and inclusive eSports environment that appeals to every student, inspiring them to explore, innovate, and excel!
