Video games are more than just fun; they're a gateway to STEM careers. Teens who play video games are 70% more likely to major in a STEM field when they attend college². Young girls who play video games are 3.3 times more likely to explore STEM subjects³.

We can meet the students where they are by teaching STEM, CTE, SEL, and other topics through a lens of esports and video games. Integrating esports and video games into the curriculum increase student engagement, attendance rates, and academic performance.
