Delaware State Hosts an Esports Competition for Public School Kids

— January 24, 2025 — Tech
Delaware State is introducing its first official esports league for school-age children to expose them to competitive esports from a young age and support emerging talent. This growing initiative highlights how far esports has come in the state, expanding from just two participating schools to nine in only four years. This count also doesn't factor in private schools like Saint Mark's, which also have thriving esports programs.

The championships will unfold at various venues, including the University of Delaware, Wilmington University, Delaware State University, and Goldey-Beacom College, as well as the innovative esports hub Futures First Gaming in Wilmington. These locations will be the battlegrounds for students to showcase their gaming skills, strategy, and teamwork while also equipping them with the knowledge for a career in games.
