<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/leadership” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Leadership: Middle School ages 10-13, High School ages 14-18</a>
This is a unique leadership course that gives students the skills they need to succeed in life. Using an activity-based syllabus centered around character traits most sought and admired in leaders (initiative, honesty, self-control, adaptability, empathy, persuasiveness, resourcefulness, diligence, tolerance, determination, generosity, punctuality, courage, reliability, endurance, deference, creativity and integrity) students learn how to deal with situations they encounter in life. These building blocks will ensure they grow to become the leaders so sought after by our burgeoning society. Our grading rubric was adapted with the permission of Neil Mercer, the Director of research and Head of Faculty at The University of Cambridge.
<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/little-leaders-prek-and-kindergarten” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Little Leaders: Primary School Ages 6-9</a>
Developed by former pre-school and elementary teachers, this ethics-centered program utilizes a play-based method to encourage students to explore and apply soft skills in their daily lives. While cultivating the skills they will need to build strong, successful relationships, they will learn how to find their voice and showcase themselves in the best way. Students will learn to communicate and negotiate so they can be better team leaders and team players. Students will learn how to deal with situations they encounter in life, such as bullying, cheating, conflicts between two or more parties, and more. The inculcation of these values in our children’s formative years will ensure they grow to become the leaders so sought after by our burgeoning society.
<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/classes/beginnersdebate” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Speech & Debate</a> (competitive and non-competitive programs available)
This online after-school program prepares students for formal and informal presentations. Participants learn to craft and present arguments and inform, persuade, and motivate an audience in a variety of ways. According to the English Speaking Union, debate is a natural fit for students and compliments common core standards. Debate builds literacy and multi-media research skills, fosters critical thinking and expanded perspectives, enhances public speaking skills, increases confidence, trains students to listen effectively, supports diverse learners and strengthens civil engagement and discourse. 
<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/model-un” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Model United Nations (Ages 11-18)</a>
Model UN simulates the six major organs of the United Nations. Students role play as delegates from a country of their choosing and learn to write and present resolutions based on topics they are passionate about-just as if they were representing member states of the United Nations. We utilize materials from National Model UN and video tutorials to teach students how to write and present position papers, working papers, and draft resolutions. Students use debate and negotiation to enlist the support of other delegates for their resolution. Model UN is a great way to teach students leadership skills like communication, conflict resolution, negotiation, and delegation.
<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/self-defense-classes” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Self Defense and Empowerment</a>
Developed by a veteran Krav Maga specialist, this self-defense program will focus on the principle of healthy minds in healthy bodies. Students will focus on de-escalation techniques as well as safe and active means of self-defense. Through active games and fun drills, students will learn the disciplined focus, critical thinking, adaptability, and resilience necessary to achieve goals, as well as gain valuable social insights into leadership and teamwork. Students will expend energy and reduce stress while learning to stand and present confidently.
Mock Trial (<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/classes/mock-trial-classes” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Fairy Tale Mock Trial for ages 7-9</a>, regular <a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/mock-trial-classes” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Mock Trial Ages 10-18</a>)
Mock trial is a hands-on simulation of the American judicial system. The goal is to help participants acquire a working knowledge of our judicial system, develop analytical abilities and communication skills, display leadership in a court of law, and gain an understanding of their obligations and responsibilities as participating members of our society. Materials for this course are provided by The American Bar Association.
<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/model-congress” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Model Congress: Ages 10-18</a>
This civics course simulates the legislative process. Students will learn about the electoral process, lobby for issues they are passionate about, draft and deliver bills, amend legislation, debate international policy, and learn how to effectively represent a constituent body of their choosing. We utilize materials from The Constitutional Rights Foundation, ICivics (founded by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor) and the National Model U.S. Congress. These resources have been proven to improve students’ civic knowledge, presentation, and core literacy skills. New research has also shown that the use of the aforementioned materials has also led to increased participation in the democratic process. Our objective in this course is to educate the next generation, nurture and inculcate a passion for civics and history and encourage young people to advocate for themselves.
<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/philosophy” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Philosophy</a>
The focus of the Philosophy class is to examine and understand the ideas behind the most popular philosophies embraced throughout the world. To do this, students examine ethical situations through the lens of these philosophies and engage in a Socratic style debate. Students are presented with an ethical question and they must identify stakeholders and players within the dilemma, discuss the key moral issues and present opposing viewpoints. This class was built for students who wish to <a href=”https://nhseb.unc.edu/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>compete in the middle or high school Ethics Bowl</a>. 
<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/classes/money-matters-financial-literacy-for-kids-afterschool”>Money Matters: Financial Literacy for Students</a>
The Money Matters course is built to help students manage their personal finances, from building credit and loan applications to interest rates and investing strategies. This class will cover the basics of financial health, savings, spending habits, and budgeting. After learning how to store, track, and spend responsibly, students will learn about risk management, APRs, and tax preparation. This class will use real-life examples and teach students how to set and achieve financial goals. This course is ideal for middle and high school students.
<a href=”https://www.potestatem.co/stem-dna-ethics” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>STEM and Bioethics: (Ages 10-18)</a>
Our STEM program will give kids the opportunity to think critically about science and society, and to practice communicating scientific topics in ways everyone can understand.

She wanted a low-stakes extracurricular to enjoy with her friends: something new that didn’t have to be graded. She thought competitive video games might be the ticket.

Michele Kasama is a straight-A, Grade 11 student at G.W. Graham Secondary School in Chilliwack. Her after-school time is divided between studying and her part-time job, but it can be a struggle to balance the demands of high school with an enjoyment of teenagehood.

When she heard about the new competitive video game league starting at her school, she and some friends decided to join. So what if she barely knew how to hold a controller?

“I wanted to learn how to play,” she said. “I don’t do computer games. I have, like, zero skills. I have no clue. I had friends and they knew how to do it, I thought it would be something fun to do together.”

Her friends turned out to be onto something. Video games were a blast. Kasama and her friends had joined a small group of girls who banded together in computer-teacher Jenny Cho’s room during lunch hours to play. But gaming was also embarrassing, Kasama said. With so little knowledge of the controls, Kasama died almost instantly each game. And when she played against some of the boys during G.W. Graham’s in-school eSports tournament, the challenges were even more pronounced.

“My brain wasn’t connected to my fingers. My fingers just landed wherever they wanted,” she said.

That’s all changing. She has improved significantly over the last year, thanks to practice and support from her fellow girl gamers.

“I know a little bit more strategy,” she said. “It takes a little bit longer to kill me.”

But the need for all that practice highlights some of the challenges of gaming while female.

“With the [girls], I was a little bit more comfortable,” Kasama said. “But when I played with the guys, they were a little bit more brutal about it.”

When I visited Chris Bonshor’s classroom in March—and got my butt whooped in Super Smash Bros.—the room was filled almost entirely with teen boys. Teen boys hanging around a table, eating McDonalds. Teen boys standing in a corner discussing gaming tactics. Teen boys in Pokemon t-shirts, teen boys in Xbox hoodies, teen boys in NASA ball caps.

There was one girl seated by herself, and she left without playing a game.

It wasn’t unexpected. The video game world is rife with testosterone—often toxically so. Women who play video games are often subject to significant harassment from their male counterparts. Some female gamers hide their gender while playing—using masculine usernames and avoiding verbal communication—in an attempt to avoid the harassment that comes with gaming while female.

Gamergate—an online harassment campaign that targeted women in the video game industry in 2014 and 2015—is one example of co-ordinated attacks on female gamers, although it is by no means the only one. Gamergate was simply an expression of long-standing misogyny in gaming, Adrienne Shaw, an associate professor of gender and video games at Temple University, told Folklife Magazine: “It’s something that has existed, and it was just particularly loud at that particular moment. But it never really went away.”

These issues and others create a series of complex challenges that prevent girls from starting to play video games—or discourage those who do try. That results in fewer women at the highest levels of gaming—both on the playing and development sides. Only a quarter of all people employed at Canadian video game companies are women, and female players are significantly underrepresented at the elite levels of play.

Some argue the situation will improve as more women fight their way into the industry and achieve accolades and admiration. Melissa Burns isn’t so sure fighting for representation is the silver bullet some think it is.

Burns is a longtime gamer and CEO of eSports Canada, an organization that promotes eSports at the elementary and high school levels. When I called her in March, her voice was bubbly and distinctly feminine—something that would sound like a clear target in an online multiplayer game.

“In eSports, it is not always a welcoming face for a lot of under-represented individuals, whether that be your sexuality, your gender, your ethnic background, your cultural background,” she said. “I noticed it a lot in [in-game communications]—so when you’re in-game, you talk to your teammates—and I experienced a lot of discrimination in those spaces.”

When she started developing eSports programs for the students at her Manitoba school, she thought her being a woman gamer would help more girls show up to play. That turned out to not be the case.

“I was the visible role model that should encourage them to come like I’m here. I’m a girl. I am gaming,” she said. “And they didn’t come. I was absolutely shocked.”

The results were the same for the following year of Burns’ eSports program. But in the third year, she added a practice that was just for girls and gender diverse players. That was a success. Girls flocked to the female-only space, while boys continued to dominate the open practice time.

Cho is considering something similar for G.W. Graham next year.

“Girls are equally capable, but they don’t express as much confidence,” Cho said. “Sometimes you have to give them opportunities to be separate and do it until they’re comfortable.”

Cho had been doing that in a less intentional way this past school year. As the only female teacher in the eSports league, her room had become the de facto girls gaming club. Although any students were welcome anywhere, the girls gravitated towards Cho.

“I had girls coming out regularly to play, but it did take some time to convince them that they could be in the tournament,” Cho said. “I had to go and convince the girls, ‘Yes, you can play. You don’t have to win.’”

Kasama was one of the girls in Cho’s group who did decide to join the tournament. She said the boys were “more brutal” than the girls when she played. That brutality wasn’t personal, it was competitive. But the girls were more likely to help her figure out the controls and fighting combinations while they played to win, she said.

To me, Bonshor’s classroom didn’t feel like a toxic environment: the teen boys were pleasant, if competitive, and were kind to this female gamer (although I am admittedly twice their age and a journalist). But the teachers did notice differences in the play styles of the girl and guy gamers that back up Kasama’s experience.

“When girls were on the switch and the boys came in, [the boys] kind of wanted to play on their own,” Cho said. “Not because they don’t want to play with girls, but the style is very different.

“The guys are competing to compete,” she continued. “The girls are competing as well, because they want to win, but they do it in a more teamwork kind of way … They’re more verbally supportive of each other as they play.”

Some of the girls, like Kasama, came into the eSports league with little to no experience with video games. (It’s unclear how many boys came into the league with no experience gaming.) The learning curve was steep, and it mirrors what Cho has seen in tech over her decades as a woman in tech.

Before the 1980s, the proportion of women in university-level computer science courses was rising and on par with increases in law, medicine, and the physical sciences. But in 1984, something changed.

An article published by NPR’s Planet Money points to the introduction of the personal computer. Marketed almost exclusively to boys, the personal computer created a divide between the haves and the have-nots; the people who knew how computers worked and those who were just beginning to learn.

“I’m old enough to have gone through that era, so I remember it,” Cho said.

“Before the personal computer, computer science professors would assume that you didn’t know anything and start from there,” she said. “But after the personal computer was introduced, there was a lot of assumed knowledge. So if you’re a girl during that era, and you didn’t have access to a computer, you wouldn’t have that assumed knowledge, and so you would be behind, so then it sort of just exacerbated.”

Today, more and more girls are signing up for computer science courses in university. But the lingering effects of the boy-centric personal-computer era are still being felt today. Computer games continue to be marketed largely towards boys, with female characters often hypersexualized or missing entirely. New players, like Kasama, often struggle to play with their peers who have years more experience gaming.

She believes that more support for new gamers in a female-only space would help make many girls feel more comfortable in eSports.

“When you are safe to say what you want, you know that it’s going to be fine,” she said. “All the girls are welcome, and no matter how badly you fail, the other girls are there to support [you] and teach [you] how to play.

“We need to teach people how to play instead of just throwing them in and expecting them to know how to play, because that’s kind of how I had to learn.”

That is part of Cho’s plan for next year. She is working to make her computer lab feel more welcoming, and plans to focus on a few female-specific courses to introduce more girls to tech and gaming, while discussing the history of gender in gaming spaces.

Kasama will be back in Cho’s room in her Grade 12 year, ready to play video games with a little more experience under her belt. She hopes that more girls will join her, and that they will be able to support each other as they battle it out in Super Smash Bros. and other games.

“I hope that there’ll be girls who feel a lot more comfortable when they want to play,” Kasama said. “They won’t be ashamed because they are just in a room with the other guys intimidating them with their playing skills.

“They’ll be more free to play and fail, and knowing that they can still play without people making fun of them or judging them for their bad playing skills.”

The Rancho Santa Fe School District is exploring adding esports to its after-school offerings in the next school year.

For those not in the know, esports or electronic sports is organized competitive video gaming—it’s now a CIF-sanctioned sport. For the after-school program, the district is considering a partnership with the Unified ESports League. According to founder and CEO Matthew Iske, United Esports uses gaming as a launchpad to help kids who spend too much time on their iPads or Nintendo Switches, helping to get them out of their rooms and engaging with peers, developing teamwork and communication skills, and exploring technology fields.

Locally, Unified ESports has programs at Mission Estancia in the Encinitas Union School District and schools in the San Diego and Poway Unified School Districts.

United Esports will supply all of the funding to transform a R. Roger Rowe School classroom into a gaming center with consoles, gaming chairs and framed esports jerseys on the wall from colleges such as UC San Diego and Georgia Tech, who field esports teams. As esports can be a way to help students with special needs, the program is offered free for clients of the San Diego Regional Center, which provides services to people with developmental disabilities.

All students who love gaming will also be able to join the program for a cost, opting to come a couple of times a week or daily after school.

During a presentation before the board on June 17, Iske said the games that the kids play during structured play sessions are selected with intention. Nothing involves violence; students play games such as Super Smash Bros., NBA2K, Madden NFL, League of Legends or a game called Overcooked! that simulates the experience of running a restaurant and working as a team. Kids also explore drone piloting and driving simulators, artificial intelligence, and can learn how to use tech to make art and music.

As Iske explained, the two-hour program also includes daily communication goals and a physical health and wellness curriculum —students learn how to have a healthy relationship with technology through the benefits of good posture, physical activity and nutrition: “You have to have a healthy mind and body to be a good gamer,” he said.

According to research conducted by UC Irvine, Iske said schools that employ esports programs can see as much as a 10% increase in school attendance and a 1.6 % improvement in student GPA.

Board members like Annette Ross were a little hesitant about the program, given just this school year they passed a new policy prohibiting electronic signaling devices from being out and on during the school day. Board Vice President Kerry Vinci said that his heart is in encouraging students to get outside.

Superintendent Kim Pinkerton said as an educational institution, they are always looking to provide a wide variety of after-school options for kids to learn, whether they are an athlete, artist or into robotics, which shares some similarities with esports.

“We’re providing an opportunity for students who have individual needs to be able to have interaction with peers and access to a safe environment where they can learn and learn safely…what it means to utilize (technology) for fun or work,” Pinkerton said.

Pinkerton said the contract will be brought back before the board for approval at a future board meeting.

Alex Dao Joins EA to Build Out the Gaming Giant’s Ad Business

He is tasked with building EA’s brand partnerships that simultaneously don’t annoy the gaming giant’s global user base.

Dao previously held roles in sales, account management, and business development at Yahoo, Criteo, and Amazon before arriving at Snap in 2019. While at Snap, he rose to managing director of global agencies and sales partnerships in 2023 and expanded the platform’s agency partner program earlier this year.

In a statement, Juliet Niczewicz, senior director of corporate communications at EA, said Dao “brings a wealth of experience in building and partnering with agencies and brands … With [him] joining the team, EA is driving the opportunity for brands to show up in ways that are meaningful, contextually relevant, and creatively powerful.”

Dao’s hiring is part of a broader shift in EA’s ad business. CEO Andrew Wilson announced plans to establish an ad network during last year’s earnings call. As companies seek advertising revenue, they face challenges such as a lack of standardized measurement, competition with e-commerce giants, and costly infrastructure investment.

To EA’s advantage, the company has years of first-party data from its “player graph,” an ID set aggregating play history and preferences used by developers and marketers. Still, adding ads carries risk, as gamers often view them as disruptive to the gaming experience.

Dao’s role seems to be gamer-centric when it comes to brands’ presence in games. Signaling his philosophy on authenticity and engagement, Dao offered advice to brands in a June 2024 issue of Ipsos’ What the Future. “[O]ptimizing toward happiness and not just pure growth numbers and engagement metrics and likes is the future because people care about connections and happiness,” he said.

Separately, EA recently switched up its agency roster for its own advertising spend. In March, EA selected GroupM as its media agency of record, ousting incumbent T&Pm after a six-month review as the company revamps its global media-buying strategy.

After Xbox announced it’s prolonging its partnership with AMD for its upcoming consoles, alongside the fact that it produces part of the hardware in the ROG Xbox Ally X, AMD is clearly making its mark (and has already made its mark) in the console and handheld market. It released its video to cement its Microsoft collaboration, where it was putting gamers first, and with that, proving it still wants to fight Nvidia.

Recent reports from JPR show the stark difference each of the manufacturers has in the graphics card department. Particularly in AIB (add in board) shares show Nvidia’s dominance in that department, where it takes up 92% of shipped cards compared to AMD’s 8%, as Intel gets zero. That’s in stark contrast to the total PC GPU shares in the same period, where Nvidia only has 20% compared to Intel with 63% and AMD with 17%, as this likely encapsulates APUs and chips with integrated graphics.

That’s where AMD has proven itself to be a top choice of processors in the handheld consoles. Found in the likes of the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, and more, they know how to make a powerful and efficient processor. Giving it excellent battery life and efficient performance, especially seen in the SteamOS Legion Go S, even MSI has moved away from Intel for its latest Claw handheld, as it upgrades to Ryzen Z2 hardware.

On the other hand, Nvidia is a lot more centred on one console system with its Switch 2 processor. The custom Nvidia chip comes with some important breakthroughs, including bringing the RTX platform to the console with DLSS and ray tracing. It’s not as powerful as AMD’s handheld chips, but we should remember that the Nintendo Switch needs to carefully balance the price-performance ratio to appeal to its target audience.

AMD and Nvidia beyond gaming GPUs

Both companies have more than just gaming GPUs. One of the big influences Nvidia has is with its enterprise and AI graphics cards filling out the mass of servers powering those systems. Even Jensen said that this is essentially the new GeForce, potentially stating how it has moved beyond the market that makes up a smaller fraction of its revenue.

In comparison, AMD also has plenty of gaming CPUs, with some of the top-placed options being X3D chips that dominate the market. That climb can even be seen with the Steam Hardware survey and AMD’s shares rising in the processor sector. It’s slowly managing to do that with GPUs as well, with Radeon gaining shares, even if it doesn’t specify which ones they are. But alongside Linux rising in OS adoption, it could just show that AMD’s prominence in handheld devices is helping its market share.

With all that, AMD partnering and working on its range of APUs, CPUs, and GPUs has a lot to offer to various markets. With its desktop cards being great value, processors being the top pick, and APUs being the go-to, it can slowly become more of a gaming brand than Nvidia. Intel is still in the fight, but it is playing catch-up, and the brand is rebuilding itself with a new CEO.

Esports have become a dominant force in youth culture, creating pathways that blend digital skill development, academic growth, and competitive excitement. Schools, sports leagues, and platforms are integrating esports programs to inspire, educate, and engage a new generation of digital natives. As the lines between entertainment, education, and competition blur, new initiatives are emerging that bridge classroom learning with gaming arenas. One such standout program is “Game On,” spearheaded by the Detroit Red Wings and the NHL. This article provides a detailed look into how esports is reshaping the youth experience, using the full scope of the available stats and names to highlight this growing movement.

The Detroit Red Wings and NHL Team Up

The Detroit Red Wings, in partnership with the National Hockey League, have launched a transformative scholastic gaming initiative called “Game On.” This program is specifically designed to engage youth between the ages of 13 to 21 by integrating esports into educational and physical development settings. This age range is crucial—it captures teens in their middle school years through young adults in post-secondary institutions. “Game On” doesn’t just stop gaming; it combines competitive esports tournaments with a strong foundation in learning objectives and healthy physical activity. This dual focus ensures that gaming becomes a well-rounded developmental platform, not just a recreational outlet.

Scholastic Gaming Redefined

By embedding esports within school frameworks, “Game On” elevates the concept of learning through gaming. The initiative emphasizes not only competitive success but also digital literacy, problem-solving, and communication skills. In practice, students engage in structured gameplay aligned with scholastic benchmarks, allowing educators to harness students’ passion for gaming as a bridge to academic enrichment. The curriculum further promotes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) topics, enabling participants to connect gameplay with technical and theoretical applications. Through this framework, gaming becomes a tool that motivates and empowers people.

Physical Activity Meets Digital Competition

What makes “Game On” a standout initiative is its insistence on blending physical activity with digital engagement. Recognizing the sedentary risks often associated with gaming, the Detroit Red Wings and NHL have made movement a mandatory pillar of participation. Youth involved in the program are expected to balance screen time with physical exercises, sports drills, and wellness routines. This proactive design not only boosts physical health but also sharpens mental focus, ensuring participants thrive both in the virtual arena and in real life.

Fostering Leadership in Young Gamers

“Game On” doesn’t just cultivate skilled gamers; it develops future leaders. Youth participants are placed in roles that extend beyond gameplay, including team captains, tournament organizers, and strategy planners. These leadership roles offer invaluable real-world skills such as decision-making under pressure, strategic communication, and team management. In essence, the esports environment becomes a training ground for future professionals in various industries, including sports management, media production, and IT infrastructure.

The Role of Digital Literacy

As part of its educational model, the program prioritizes digital literacy. Participants are trained on topics like internet safety, respectful online conduct, digital footprint awareness, and data protection. The goal is to ensure that youth become not just players but informed digital citizens. Incorporating these teachings in tandem with gaming helps bridge the critical knowledge gap that many adolescents face when interacting in digital ecosystems.

With esports gaining traction among youth, platforms like BetMGM are finding ways to engage this demographic responsibly. Instead of pushing pure promotions, BetMGM offers a dual approach—combining educational resources with promotional access points such as those provided through a betmgm bonus code. This strategy allows for responsible exposure, where the emphasis is placed on informed decision-making. This model respects the boundaries of underage gaming while preparing participants for the realities of the gaming economy as they transition into adulthood.

Community-Building Through Scholastic Esports

“Game On” also nurtures community spirit among participants. Youth form tight-knit teams that represent their schools, neighborhoods, and cities. This local representation boosts school pride and cultivates a supportive gaming culture. Students who may not engage in traditional sports find an inclusive environment where their talents are celebrated. The result is an expansion of school identity and team spirit, extending from gymnasiums to virtual arenas.

Career Pathways in the Esports Ecosystem

The initiative opens doors to potential careers in the esports industry, which includes roles far beyond the player’s seat. Youth can explore opportunities in broadcasting, game design, marketing, coaching, and analytics. By offering educational seminars, networking events, and mentorships within the “Game On” program, the Detroit Red Wings and NHL create a sustainable route for gamers to pursue long-term aspirations. The emphasis is not just on playing but on building careers.

Esports as a Social Equalizer

A significant aspect of “Game On” is its accessibility. With resources provided by the Red Wings and NHL, students from all socioeconomic backgrounds can participate without bearing the high costs often associated with advanced gaming setups. This inclusivity transforms esports into a social equalizer, granting underserved communities the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge technology and mentorship that can change life trajectories.

Redefining Youth Engagement in the 21st Century

The “Game On” initiative illustrates how modern youth engagement requires a multi-faceted approach. Combining competitive gaming, education, physical health, and leadership into one comprehensive program showcases a future-forward mindset. It’s no longer enough to lecture or coach from the sidelines—today’s youth demand immersive, hands-on experiences. Esports, through programs like “Game On,” fulfill this demand by creating a vibrant ecosystem that speaks the language of a digital-first generation.

Final Thoughts on a Growing Movement

“From Classroom to Arena” is not just a catchy phrase—it’s a defining reality. As more organizations follow in the footsteps of the Detroit Red Wings and the NHL, scholastic esports will become an essential part of educational and professional development strategies. With platforms like BetMGM reinforcing responsible participation and the inclusion of resources such as the betmgm bonus code, the esports space is poised for sustainable growth. The intersection of competition, learning, and leadership is no longer hypothetical—it’s here, and its game on.
