There are compelling reasons for high schools and even middle schools to create an esports program. For instance, gaming is an important part of the culture of today’s youth, and esports is a way to engage students who otherwise wouldn’t participate in school activities. Esports also helps students learn valuable skills like leadership and teamwork, and it can prepare them for STEAM careers. Esports can even provide an avenue for students to earn college scholarships. A successful K-12 esports program relies on many components, such as a knowledgeable faculty adviser and support from school administration. A wellequipped esports infrastructure — including the space, furnishings, computers and connectivity that students will use to compete — is also essential.
