Esports for Education

Esports takes the world of video gaming to the next level. Simply put, esports is the collective term to describe teams or individuals competing in organised multi-player competitions against each other.

Using video gaming as a platform, teams representing schools, organisations, or other communities compete to gain a prize or trophy and often compete in front of millions of online and physical spectators. Just like traditional physical sports, players are highly skilled, train regularly, and compete across the globe.
