Add E-Sports Elective to Redmond Middle School


Add E-Sports Elective to Redmond Middle School
The Issue
Our school needs to adapt to the realities of the rapidly growing digital landscape by incorporating an E-Sports elective into the curriculum. This isn't just about games - with nearly 500 million E-Sports enthusiasts worldwide and a global revenue set to hit $1.8 billion by 2022, this is an industry that offers real career opportunities and the development of valuable skills. The proposed course isn't merely recreational; it's designed to enhance teamwork, strategic thinking, and technical skills, thereby preparing students for future careers in the digital and gaming industries. This is a transformation that is needed to foster healthy competition and innovation and to ensure our education system aligns with the demands of our modern world. Stand with us as we push for the inclusion of an E-Sports elective course in our curriculum. Sign the petition. Source: Newzoo, Global E-Sports Market Report 2020.
