Hearing about school closures

Esports in education
Angus primary schools are taking part in a new innovative project teaching young people about esports and its industry to fuel children's imagination and help them explore the vast possibilities within this exciting STEM industry.
This ground-breaking new curriculum provides a comprehensive introduction to the world of esports while educating young children about the fundamentals of gaming, teamwork, and sportsmanship. It also covers the history and evolution of esports, the different types of games and genres, and the role they can play in different aspects of the industry.
