Event Overview

This free training is for educators who serve a middle or high school population. New and existing iCivics teachers are invited to attend this unique training experience that will provide participants with strategies to put a new spin on civic education by using esports as a teaching tool.

Participants of this training will learn how to create an iCivics e-team with the aim of encouraging civic participation among youth. By adding an e-tournament component, students will be utilizing a competitive platform they enjoy to learn how our government works. Students will have opportunities to play different roles, solve puzzles, and make decisions while collaborating with their peers. Participants of this training will learn tactics to be an effective e-team coach and will have the opportunity to share ideas with fellow attendees.
