Digital Schoolhouse, a not-for-profit UK-based program, has collaborated with Outright Games and Nintendo UK for launching a junior Esports tournament at the national level. The children with ages ranging from eight ad 11 will be sought in the tournament and they will compete across the span of titles, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Under this program, the participants will be allowed to participate in the gaming industry for various job roles, which are described as ‘immersive careers experience’. This holds activities enclosing various curriculum subjects like English, design and technology, and maths.
Programme Director of Head of Education for Ukie and Digital Schoolhouse, Shahneila Saeed, spoke about the deal:” For the first time sports are being introduced into primary schools and we’re excited about this.
