Fostering teamwork and strategy: iCode's new
iSports program offers a structured path to esports mastery for
young gamers
DALLAS, April 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- iCode, a premier coding and
STEM learning program for kids, announced today its latest addition
to its program offerings: iSports, a one-of-a-kind esports program
geared towards young gamers aged 8-13.
Starting the week of June 3, 2024,
this innovative 12-week esports course will be offered across the
entire iCode franchise and is dedicated to introducing students to
the thrilling world of competitive gaming in a safe and secure
environment. This season will revolve around the popular game
Fortnite, which will feature a special iCode-only map within the
platform.
"iSports will serve as a great summer activity for kids to get
out of the house, but the overall goal is to foster personal
development through the many dynamic skills competitive gaming
requires," said iCode founder and CEO, Abid
Abedi. "The iSports program places a strong emphasis on
developing important life skills like sportsmanship, teamwork and
strategic thinking. It will keep participants engaged and learning
while school is out, and parents can rest assured knowing that
their children are playing in a controlled environment."
Throughout the 12-week iSports season, participants will
dedicate one hour per week to gameplay and skill development. All
sessions are led and supervised by knowledgeable iCode coaches.
Their administration along with the exclusive iCode-only map is
specifically designed to provide a secure gaming experience with a
safe, monitored environment. The program culminates in the
opportunity to compete in a tournament-style championship to crown
the best gamer across iCode national network.
iCode is partnering with MSI to supply an array of
state-of-the-art gaming equipment including high-quality headsets
and top-tier gaming computers equipped with speedy processors.
Gamers will also have access to advanced gaming chairs for maximum
efficiency and comfort. This setup will ensure that every
participant enjoys a premium gaming experience, mirroring the
standards of professional esports environments. In addition, MSI
will provide prizes to the top iSports gamers, including one of
their brand new Claw handheld gaming devices.
"MSI has been dedicated to cultivating gaming and esports for
years with significant achievements," said David Chou, VP of Sales at MSI. "We're thrilled
and honored to partner with iCode to develop this community to
another level."
