“The biggest thing that I've learned through working with the students and going through the curriculum is building a team and working on communication skills. Those are skills that not only help them within the classroom but they can also take outside of school and into the real world.”

Math Teacher, Santiago M.S.

“The kids are super excited esports. They love gaming together and esports has brought in this whole group of kids that don't normally get conne”cted in those extra activities, and so we've really tapped into a new group of kids.””
