Many high school kids spend a lot of time playing video games, their parents worrying that they should be studying instead. Every Victory Royale is time wasted away from textbooks. But now there is a curriculum that aims to meet those kids where they play, tapping directly into that love of esports.
Developed by the North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF) with help from the University of California Irvine (UCI), the curriculum spans all four years of high school. It covers everything from game design to entrepreneurship to hospitality. NASEF also serves as a league for high schools to compete against each other in esports.
