As esports continues to grow, so do the number of opportunities to participate. Here are some questions and factors to consider when evaluating how to adopt an esports program for your school or community organization:

1. What is the Purpose of the Esports Program?

Determine what educational and developmental goals you aim to achieve with the esports program. Is it to enhance communication, collaboration, critical thinking, or to provide career pathways in STEAM fields? Understanding the purpose will help guide program structure and activities.

2. What Types of Esports Programs Will Be Offered?

Consider the format of the esports program that best suits your school environment. Options could include before and after school clubs, academic esports courses, competitive esports programs, or a combination. Each type serves different objectives and requires different levels of resources and commitment.

3. How Will Inclusivity and Accessibility Be Ensured?

Evaluate how you will ensure that the esports program is inclusive and accessible to all students regardless of their socioeconomic status. This could involve securing funding for equipment, providing diverse roles beyond gaming (like coaching or event management), and implementing anti-bullying and inclusivity training.
