High School Esports Program Winner

Garden State Esports

Garden State Esports is a New Jersey nonprofit league encompassing 270 school districts. Founded and run by educators statewide, it’s the largest scholastic esports league in the country and rapidly growing. The league introduces students to career pathways via a career and technical education program called Career Oriented Disciplines in Esports Curriculum.

“Garden State Esports will have a rigorous selection process to choose a deserving school to be the recipient of this amazing technology package. We will consider factors such as the school’s commitment to STEM education ensuring computers are used during the day, their current technological resources, and their afterschool esports program. We are excited to help a deserving school have access to innovative learning experiences, develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and engage in fun and competitive esports activities that can boost their academic and social growth. Thank you for supporting scholastic esports!”

Collegiate Esports Program Winner

Red Hawk Esports

Red Hawk Esports is a collegiate program run by Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, North Carolina. The program prioritizes inclusivity in esports and academic performance, with many members awarded as National Junior College Athletic Association Esports All-Academic honorees.

“Three years ago, we started our Esports program at Catawba Valley Community College with a single Nintendo Switch that we put on top of a stool and trash can to connect to a projector. Now, we have a former cafeteria turned into an Esports room in our student center on the main campus. We’re still trying to grow this program, though. We’ve gone from two students to nearly 30 and continue to get more interest, but with more students being involved comes the demand for more equipment. These new Intel powered gaming PCs would help us grow and continue to impact the lives of students. I am truly thankful for Insight to consider our program at CVCC.”

— Cody Dalton, CVCC Esports Head Coach
