PAST Foundation and OhioSEC Partnership
PAST Partners with ESPORTS OHIO, NASEF, and Samueli Foundation to Create Esports Scholastic & Competition Collaborative
The PAST Foundation headquartered in Columbus, Ohio is proud to announce they will join forces with ESPORTS OHIO, the North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF), and the Samueli Foundation to form The Ohio Scholastic Esports Collaborative (“OhioSEC”). This collaboration will allow students to use NASEF’s scholastic Esports platform, provide competitive opportunities for student teams, and offer the framework for high schools to create Esports career pathways.
Esports provides an opportunity for any student to connect a favorite past-time and passion – playing video games – to learning. This program will enable them to join a community of their peers with similar interests in a supervised setting that parents will appreciate. Within the Esports community, students acquire critical communications, experience collaboration, and practice problem-solving skills needed for students to thrive in work and life.
Building an Esports community teaches students to think like entrepreneurs and assemble a team of members with different skill sets, talents, and experiences. An Esports team might begin with expert players and quickly realize they need other team members to assist with marketing, promotion, sponsorships, video and production, and programming.
