Audience
Technology Leaders/Support

Are you interested in expanding young studentsÕ awareness in computer science and information technology? Do you want your students to be engaged and actively learning? Do your students love Minecraft? Technical jobs are among the fastest growing in the U.S., yet participation in these fields is dwindling. Young women and minority students continue to be underrepresented in technical fields. Together we can help turn the tide. In order to do this, we need to start with our youngest learners. This session will provide you all the tools you need to start an Esports team in your Elementary Schools this year!
