The educational system is always looking for ways to modernize, engage students meaningfully, and make the classroom experience more convenient for the students and the teacher. COVID-19 saw an increase in this as the pandemic meant teachers and students were interacting digitally, which, while difficult, has been opening new doors for teachers to use the digital space in their classes. One English teacher took this to its extreme by turning to video games, teaching their classes with the use of 20 Xbox Series S consoles, a handful of Nintendo Switch systems, and a PlayStation 5.

AnonymousCerealBowl's haul also included four Nintendo Switch consoles with multiple Joy-Con and wired controllers and a Horzion: Forbidden West PS5 bundle, alongside a DualSense controller and charging station.
