Exploring esports

Esports, or electronic sports, is a form of competitive gaming where professional players, individually or as teams, engage in organised, multiplayer video game competitions. These competitions can take place in both live and online formats, with players battling it out for glory and significant prizes.

The global esports market is anticipated to grow to a value of $3.04 billion by 2027, making it a leading industry.

The integration of esports into the curriculum is revolutionising education, with studies indicating a remarkable 40% surge in student engagement where gaming is used as an educational aid.

The rise of esports in Africa

Esports in Africa is growing rapidly. Several factors are contributing to this growth including:

A population of young people:
Africa has a young population, with over 60% of the population under the age of 25. This young population is increasingly interested in gaming and esports.

Improved access to the internet and technology:
Internet access in Africa has improved significantly in recent years. This has made it possible for more people to play games online and participate in esports tournaments.

Africa takes the lead as the fastest-growing region in esports, with a year on year

growth rate of 22%.

The projected value of Africa's esports market is set to

hit $1 billion by 2024.

FAQ CORNER

Explore answers to your commonly asked questions

What are the benefits of the “Esports Club”?

  • Develop key skills to assist in future academics and careers.
  • Discover career paths in esports.
  • Improve gaming skills.
  • Bank credits for a future BTEC in Esports.

How is the “Esports Club” different from casual video gaming?

Structure

Unlike casual gaming our tasks have a set time frame and have instructions to achieve an end result to playing the game (similar to receiving a task in an academic lesson)

Educational

Unlike casual gaming which does't always hold a purpose, each of our tasks aim to develop skills such as Leadership, Problem solving, Strategic thinking and many more.

How will playing games help my child in his education?

The platform adds structure as opposed to 'Casually' playing video games. We have broken games down and created tasks that help develop key skills for children (leadership, creativity, time management, decision making are just some of the examples). An example of this would be we explore children's creativity by giving them a specific creative design task. They then can be critiqued by other students in a positive way to not only get better at the game but explore their own creativity. They can also display their presentation skills by explaining their creative design choices.

Is Esports Club a safe environment for my child to participate in?

Our platform has multiple safeguarding and safety measures to ensure all students are in a safe environment. This includes a sign-up process which restricts users to only those agreed with the school. The club has a code of conduct each student has to agree to. The club also has auto (bot) and live moderators for safety purposes.

*All individual games have their own terms and conditions for safety.
