About this event

This event runs over a period of four weeks in which there will be a different focus each week.

Esports offers players opportunities to make connections and form communities of organised play.

In education, esports can be integrated with a games-based learning approach, promoting future ready skills and career technical education (CTE) pathways, and prepares students for careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

In this workshop teachers will learn how to…

  • Setup and implement a Minecraft esports programme within their school
  • Explain why esports belongs in education
  • Safeguarding and Online Safety for students
  • Recognise the health and wellbeing of students and using esports as a driver in this.
  • Inspire the Gamers in your classrooms to recognise that a healthier, sport driven lifestyle can lead to industry careers.

You will also receive:

  • Tips and tricks from the PLD Team Minecrafters
  • Work towards the esports Microsoft Badge
  • Take part in a Minecraft Build Challenge
