Gaming Foundations (Ages 7-13) Monday's

Join us for Gaming Foundations” where your child will explore games like Minecraft, Rocket League, Fall Guys, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Kart in a social, encouraging environment. Each day focuses on a key skill - character development, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and leadership. Beyond gameplay, participants get an exclusive look into our production and competition room, gaining insights into the next level of esports. This program serves as a gateway to our competitive teams, fostering passion for gaming while highlighting the importance of balance, health, wellness, and internet safety.

Game Creation, Modding, and Coding (Ages 7-15) Tuesdays

Encourage your child to join us for Game Creation, Modding, and Coding. This class will require them to problem-solve, be creative, think critically, and hone basic computer skills to achieve their game creation goals. They will start by learning code basics through Scratch, the world's largest coding community and visual coding language for children, to create their own games. They will also have the opportunity to practice coding through a variety of fun challenges and coding courses in Minecraft Education Edition and Roblox. As they progress through the class, kids will have the chance to socialize and collaborate with each other on improvements and showcase their progress to their parents daily.

Content Creation and Streaming (Ages 7-15) Wednesdays

Have your child join us for our Content Creation, Streaming, & Graphic Design for Esports, where they will learn the fundamentals and develop skills necessary to become a successful content creator. During this class, your child will have the opportunity to explore their creativity as they produce unique content. They will get an overview of hardware and software requirements, streaming platforms (such as Twitch and YouTube), lighting, audio, video editing, graphic design, and more. They will be able to configure their setup, get behind the camera and microphone, and share the final results online (or just with family and friends). This class will provide the foundation for aspiring creators to expand their creativity and passion into all areas of
their life, be it esports, gaming, or otherwise.
