It's all fun & games — and that matters

More than 90% of students play video games. Bringing gaming into the classroom (or onto your stage) does measurable good.

Raises attendance

Programs anchored by gaming events see students show up — and stay engaged for the whole day.

Increases GPA

Esports clubs are correlated with stronger grades; structured competition rewards practice and study.

Improves mental health

Gaming communities give students a place to belong — reducing isolation and building friendships.

Why not host 300+ students & family members with an iconic gaming event?
