Esports
CEI Esports is a comprehensive program designed to give students a complete overview of the Esports ecosystem and provide the critical communication, collaboration and problem solving skills students need to thrive in school and in life. Esports engages students in innovative ways while improving school culture, building character and promoting career and college readiness.
Social and Emotional Learning
Character building is an important component of this program. Students practice social and emotional skills such and understanding and managing emotions, setting and achieving positive goals, feeling and showing empathy for others, building resilience and establishing and maintaining positive relationships while engaging in competitive activities.
Gaming
Students build a strong community of participants who demonstrate leadership, accountability and commitment. Integral to this program are scrimmages, strategy development and problem solving skills. Gaming provides an excellent platform to see value in learning through failure and developing resistance to perceived setbacks.
College and Career Readiness
Students learn both technical and career readiness skills; marketing and business techniques through exposure to the process of designing a culminating tournament. Students learn about broadcasting through commentating of the game play and what to follow on the screen, interviewing and speaking on camera and clipping videos for social media.
During Week 2 of CEI NBA2K Summer Camp, CEI Esports took students on a field trip to the 2K Studios in New York. Students went on a tour of the studio and watched some intense games as teams fought for playoff spots.
