play games, develop skills, and be social
At Ottawa eSports academy, this is what we stand for. The use of digital platforms in education is a trend that is growing rapidly on a global scale. The goal of our Friday evening program is to develop young players by connecting the skills they craft in video game play and organized team sports. In 2018 almost 10 million dollars worth of scholarships were awarded from universities across the United States and those numbers are beginning to climb in Canada.
Under the guidance of Ontario Certified Teachers, gamers will experience a variety of styles and platforms that challenge their skills and allow for a semi-competitive environment that is team based. Teams will be balanced by skill set and age level making the experience enjoyable for all gamers regardless of experience. Applying True Sport principles in a social atmosphere brings gamers together creating a supportive and encouraging community.
During each session, students will enjoy multiple games with a session specific tournament designed by the lead instructor. The tournament will build up to a professional-grade, live-streamed championship match that accommodates all age levels. Each session in the program will feature a theme. Gamers can look forward to retro gaming night, dance off night, and the ever popular cosplay night where gamers come dressed as their favourite video game character. A pizza dinner is provided each session, gamers are encouraged to bring a water bottle while snacks and beverages are available for purchase.
All games are age appropriate and game selection will be focused on fostering a collaborative and social atmosphere. A list of games featured each session are available at sign in.
