Esports Rises
'20-'21
While COVID-19 bought many new challenges, it did not taper students' passion for technology. Membership rose to over thirty members, with five members being virtual.
Minecraft and its many modded versions continued to be a popular game among members. The popularity of the social deduction game Among Us lead to large groups of students sitting silently in the same room while each player tried to take down their opponents or attempt to avoid the imposters.
Esports sparkled much interest. Ten students competed in the Fall and Spring seasons for League of Legend by rotating who played on game day. Practice games of Fortnite and Rocket League were also played, but no official teams were formed.
A contest for Tech Club logo was given with a $25 prize for the winner. The winner logo was voted on by members.

While Minecraft still remained popular, Fortnite became the number one game played before and after school, thanks to having new, powerful computers in the lab.
During March, twelve members went on a field trip to Infinity Science Center located near the Gulf Coast. NASA operates the museum.
