Five years into our esports journey, and we’re still growing! 🎮

More than 1,200 students are now participating across our region, and that growth means we have to keep expanding the equipment available to them.

This DonorsChoose project will help us add additional Nintendo Switch systems and games so more students can compete, connect, and get involved.

Esports has grown into much more than competition for us. Our Student Ambassadors help run events and productions, and we’ve now started an internship program to give students even more real-world experience.

Help me give my students an opportunity to connect, compete, and grow through scholastic esports while building teamwork, communication, confidence, and a stronger sense of belonging. For the past ...

Our EBRPSS Student Ambassadors have officially invaded LACUE TLS!

They’ll be running around taking photos, grabbing interviews, making content, and probably challenging a few people to some games along the way.

This is the fun part — students not just sitting and watching, but actually doing the work. Talking to people, learning production, building confidence, and showing what they can do when you give them the opportunity.

So if you see them, stop them, talk to them, take a picture, jump on an interview, or accept the gaming challenge.

They came to work… but they also came to have some fun.

Day 3 & 4 of our EBRPSS Internship Program

We have officially started our Broadcast and Production Training through the USAEL pathway modules, and then we took that learning straight into hands-on work.

Students began building a small mock production kit using Logitech Mevos, Blue microphones, Elgato external capture devices, and other tools as we get ready for test streaming.

We also started refreshing gaming PCs for McKinley High. Students are installing a lighter version of Windows to help improve performance, removing extra HDDs where the OS was installed incorrectly, and reconfiguring the machines to run from the NVMe drives.

Along the way, they also got a look at Azure/Entra and how systems are connected, removed, re-added, protected, and configured.

Broadcasting, production, cyber, PC repair, device management, and leadership — all in just a few days.

Day 2 of EBRPSS Student internship down.

Today our student interns got hands-on with the tech behind e-sports.

We covered computer components and how each part works together, walked through a fresh Windows installation, explored capture cards and OBS, and talked through basic networking.

That last part is big. E-sports does not happen without strong infrastructure. From fiber to ethernet, from bandwidth to preventing bottlenecks, students are learning that what happens behind the scenes is just as important as what happens on the screen.

First day of our EBRPSS Summer E-sports Internship Program is underway!

Today we are starting with thought-provoking questions to see where our students’ mindset is on day one. We will ask those same questions again on the last day and see how much they have grown.

A lot of fun and learning is ahead. These students will get hands-on experience in leadership, broadcasting, marketing, cyber, management, event operations, and much more.

This is where students don’t just play — they learn how to lead.
