UK-based esports organisation Guild Esports has partnered with Difference Makers, an initiative from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
According to the release, the partnership seeks to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) education concepts and sustainability through competitive gaming.
As a result of the deal, IET and Guild Esports will organise a Fortnite tournament with a unique activation — for every in-game tree cut down during the tournament, Difference Makers will plant one tree in real life.
Danielle George, IET President, commented: “The future scientists, technicians and engineers, who might one day save the world are likely to be found today — in front of their consoles.
