Beyond Expectations is always on lookout for trends in business for our Youth Entrepreneurship Academy. Each year we focus on a different industry. Turns out that gaming is a $1.08 billion market with multiple doors of entry. During the 6-week program, a team of amazingly talented middle and high school students will have a firsthand opportunity to plan and produce every aspect of our 1st ever virtual charitable tournament!
This is not about ‘playing’ the game. Our goal is to create a pipeline of talented & tech-savvy Content Creators as future hires or future founders.
Under the direct instruction of a phenomenal team of eSports and Gaming professionals, students will learn about storyboarding, animation, coding, music, marketing, venture capital and more. This participatory strategy is intended to keep students engaged and build impressive content portfolios to help give them a competitive edge as they transition beyond high school.
The final training session will feature a Business & Careers Summit to speak directly with professionals and entrepreneurs across varied industries and an open forum to ask any questions they may have on their minds.
Our partnership with The College of New Jersey will provide students with the educational pathways exposing them to the university’s exciting collegiate level programs in Journalistic Storytelling, Game Design as well as VR & Journalism.
Special thanks to our partners at Metafy for their time and expertise in making this tournament possible!!
