Appearances:



Day 1 @ 14:45

Making esports your own

Day 2 @ 12:45

Advancing the value of esports

If you thought esports was only about producing better gamers, then you’re in for some amazing new insights. We will share how academic esports can develop STEM skills, creativity, wellbeing, community building and engagement.

Join professional educators as they share their school’s journey in esports and how their programs evolved, in big and small ways, to support student and curriculum needs. These are not gaming gurus. These are teachers who embraced esports in order to enhance curriculum, motivate underserved students, offer physical sport alternatives and build school pride. Students (girls and boys) are benefitting from a spectrum of esports programs where they compete, strategize, analyse performance data, design and program games, host and promote tournaments, and develop skills valued across many career options.

The schools in this session have developed strong internal programs and equally found success in high profile external tournaments, some even groundbreaking.

If you ever wondered how esports might be of benefit to your students, then this is a session for you. A session presented by teachers for teachers where you can ask all the hard questions and learn how you too could make esports your own.
