SPACEJUMP is participating in the 2024 It Takes A Spark WA Stem Conference! Come say hi to the SPACEJUMP team at our esports activation as part of the STEM Expo and catch SPACEJUMP Founder, Alyssia Boyer, as she presents an ‘Esports in Education’ teacher masterclass.

Esports in Education Teacher Masterclass

Esports (or electronic sports) is rapidly growing in K–12 education as a path for building STEAM and social-emotional skills while increasing student engagement and opportunities for student inclusion. It teaches students teamwork, communication, creative thinking, and digital literacy. Esports can also inspire students to pursue higher education or careers in STEAM, such as game design, computer science, data analysis, broadcasting, music production, or graphic design.

In this teacher mini-masterclass you will discover how to integrate esports into your lessons and align it with the Australian curriculum. Explore innovative and engaging strategies for student involvement through gaming. Elevate your teaching approach with esports education!
