Program Launch Progress
Thanks to the City of Blair, generous private donors and a bit of creative reimagining, we are about $70K away from our launch $ needs. There are still opportunities to help and we added a givebutter donation page with a QR code to make it even easier...
As of April 22nd:
* Computers and mice are in house with gaming keyboards and headsets arriving weekly.
* Saturday a second desk will arrive so we can test another equipment setup option. Desk/table options
will save thousands of dollars so it is the direction we are heading.
* Camp registration software is being configured as we are prepare our first online registration form.
* Kelly Johnson travelled to Doane University for the Nebraska High Schools Spring esports State Championships,
learning more about competition play and future partnership and scholarship opportunities.
* Decision made to remain at 20 or so computers and build out the next seats with Nintendo Switch 2's. Will save thousands, allow us to add seats at a lower cost, hold a blend of hardware similar to that used at State Championships and increase flexibility in STEM camp offerings.
* Monitor order will be placed with Lenovo.
* Need chairs.
* Computer maintenance and cleaning tools ordered.
