Academic Esports

When adopted properly, academic esports programs in middle and high schools are much more than just a fun activity. An effective academic Esports program helps serve students’ Career and Technical Education (CTE). These programs also enhance Social/Emotional Learning (SEL) outcomes while breaking down gender barriers to STEM instruction. When you get in the game with STS and Academic Esports, you’re providing a path to players and broadcasters, announcers, media creators, organizers, and coaches. Everyone gets in the game!

There's more to it than just buying some PCs.

Buying PCs is the easy part. However, much more goes into an effective Esports program. STS can help you identify internal advocates and provide training for mentors, coaches, and faculty advisors. When you’re ready to move forward, we can help you design and outfit an Esports/STEAM game lab, including furniture, hardware, lighting, and equipment for broadcasting. From there, we’ll assist with planning and live streaming tournaments and then reviewing the program’s efficacy.
