The Technology Student Association (TSA) is a national Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) that helps students explore STEM through hands-on projects, competitions, and leadership opportunities.
What is ‘eSports Equity Summit’
Host an event that brings together gamers, social justice advocates, and industry professionals to discuss and promote diversity and inclusivity in eSports, using both virtual and in-person formats.
Why I am pursuing this project (My why)
- I am a ‘Relationship Builder’ personality type person with strong ‘advocate’ business potential.
- I’m a total whiz at gaming and solving problems, and I totally dig being a social justice warrior in the gaming world. So, I’ve decided to kick off a project advocating for social justice in eSports. My goal? To rock the scene by promoting fairness through managing kick-ass gaming events..
My plan of action: Competitions and Activities
Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) to join:
TSA – Technology Student Association promotes leadership, technical skill development, and hands-on project management, making it a perfect foundational CTSO for this passion project.
