FOSTER SCHOOL COMMUNITY WITH ESPORTS
Participation in esports is exploding. The online High School esports League now has 15,000 students representing 800 schools nationwide on its platform, and the National Federation of State High School Associations just started an official national league.
In fact, colleges and universities are actively recruiting esports players and companies are looking to hire gamers experienced in all aspects of esports. Like traditional sports, esports foster community. Not only is it a powerful way to engage students who might not otherwise participate in after-school activities, it encourages teamwork, strengthens communication skills, and promotes leadership.
Start small with an esports lab equipped with high-powered PCs so that students can remotely compete with students from other schools. Add displays so they can watch the recap of the game. As your program grows (and your team gets into the playoffs!), involve your district in building an esports arena so that everyone can cheer on your esports team.
