Eastview High School Selected For Free E-Sports Lab

APPLE VALLEY, MN— Eastview High School was selected to participate in a campaign that equips 25 schools in North America with a free Esports lab, a spokesperson for Generation Esports High School Esports League said.

The program announced March 3 that 25 schools total will receive the Esports labs.

HSEL will go on a roadshow, dedicating one day to each school, helping them set up their Esports lab, the program said.

Eastview High School will receive their Esports lab April 30, the program said.

The program also said they will also equip the selected schools with STEM learning curriculum to help maintain the lab, and offer future career and college advice.

"Generation Esports is honored to have partnered with organizations that will enable us to provide STEM opportunities to schools that otherwise could not afford to develop their own high-end computer labs," Jason Kirby, President of Generation Esports said.

This initiative to help give STEM learning opportunities and Esports labs to students is sponsored by the Army National Guard, ASUS, and Intel, the program said.

The program said it gives schools the opportunity to positively impact students through competitive gaming, and does this through "fostering academic success, teaching college-and-career-ready skills, and building social skills vital to success for young athletes."

The program said they also offer scholarship programs, diversity, equity and inclusion trainings, 'gaming concepts' curriculum, and fundraising assistance.
